Introduction of data science and machine learning approaches to modern problems in chemical engineering and materials science. This course develops data science approaches, including their foundational mathematical and statistical basis, and applies these methods to data sets of limited size and precision. Methods for regression and clustering will be developed and applied, with an emphasis on validation and error quantification. Techniques that will be developed include linear and nonlinear regression, clustering and logistic regression, dimensionality reduction, unsupervised learning, and artificial neural networks. These methods will be applied to a range of engineering problems, including conducting polymers, stretchable conductors, organic synthesis, and quality control in manufacturing.
