SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "Navigating the Promises of Compositionally Complex E
 nergy Materials with Data-driven Approaches"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nCompositionally complex materials\, represented by hi
 gh-entropy alloys and ceramics\, have primarily been used as structural ma
 terials since their initial discovery. Recently\, interest in their potent
 ial for energy storage and conversion has surged. However\, this excitemen
 t is often accompanied by confusion as researchers grapple with the need t
 o complicate material composition beyond vague concepts like the "cocktail
  effect."\nThis talk aims to clarify some fundamental pictures of composit
 ionally complex energy materials (CCEM)\, illustrated through case studies
  on high-entropy battery materials and electrocatalysis. Inspired by the o
 ngoing revolution of AI in science\, this talk will also showcase our rece
 nt efforts in developing universally adaptable machine learning models for
  CCEMs. Our findings suggest that\, in many cases\, machine learning chall
 enges in CCEM stem more from data limitations rather than the need for sop
 histicated neural network architectures. A well-designed dataset\, enriche
 d with the right domain knowledge\, can deliver powerful insights even wit
 h simple models.\nBio\nBin Ouyang\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\nFlorida St
 ate University\nDr. Bin Ouyang is a computational materials scientist spe
 cializing in the study of disordered and compositionally complex materials
  using high-throughput screening\, data mining\, and machine learning. He 
 earned his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from McGill University. After th
 at\, he worked as a postdoc at UIUC and UC Berkeley.\nDr. Ouyang started h
 is college life as a metallurgical physicist and gradually evolved into a 
 solid-state chemist. Currently\, he is an assistant professor in the Depar
 tment of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University\, where hi
 s research group focuses on developing data-driven tools to investigate ma
 terials for energy storage and conversion\, particularly those exhibiting 
 complex compositional and structural disorder. He has published over 80 pa
 pers across diverse fields\, including batteries\, fuel cells\, metal allo
 ys\, and low-dimensional nanomaterials. More information can be found at h
