Muraoka Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses computation and data to streamline the synthesis of materials such as zeolites.

AboutAbout the lab
Making materials with the power of computers.
The Muraoka Lab studies the synthesis of materials using computation and data science.
Obtaining high-performance materials requires painstaking trial-and-error synthesis experiments to control the positions of atoms.
The lab streamlines this trial and error with materials informatics methods, and creates materials with unusual atomic positions and compositions.
It focuses in particular on zeolites, which are porous crystalline materials.
Key terms
- Materials Informatics
- A method of efficiently searching for and designing new materials using computation, data science, and machine learning
- Machine Learning
- A technology that lets computers learn rules and patterns from large amounts of data
- Zeolite
- A crystalline material in which pores too small to see are arranged in a regular pattern
ResearchResearch themes
The lab takes an integrated approach to the synthesis of crystalline materials, combining experiments, theoretical calculations, machine learning, and data science. It works to streamline synthesis experiments for which no established guidelines existed, and to crystallize materials with unusual atomic positions and compositions.
