Content
One-week winter school organized at the end of the first semester at U.Porto and AMU (rotating locations).
In this school, students will get an introduction to different aspects of computational data science as it can be applied to chemical and material sciences.
Guest researchers from both the academic and non-academic sectors working in the domain of Artificial Intelligence will also present their current research.
Mathematical algorithms for data treatments, computational approaches, and programming methods and tools (i.e.Python, hand machine/deep learning techniques) will be introduced and applied to several problems to solve, such as searching for new molecules, medicines, and materials more eco-friendly and more sustainable, and prediction of properties of complex substances that have yet to be synthesized.
