Center for Materials Informatics (CMI)
Materials informatics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that promotes data management, standards, and exchange as well as data mining and analysis as a means of accelerating scientific research. The Center for Materials Informatics at Kent State University, established in 2008, aims to be an internationally recognized center in using informatics to advance materials research and education. CMI is initially focusing on soft matter (e.g., liquid crystals, polymers and proteins), biomaterials and nanomaterials.
