The program
The NRT program at the University of Missouri trains PhD students at the intersection of artificial intelligence and materials science. Fellows work across departments — computer science, chemistry, physics, and engineering — with dual mentorship that pairs data-science methods with real materials research.
See the official program page at engineering.missouri.edu/nrt.
What trainees do
- Build machine-learning models that predict, design, and accelerate the discovery of new materials.
- Take interdisciplinary coursework spanning AI/data science and materials science.
- Engage in outreach, entrepreneurship, and internship experiences.
Funding & structure
This is a five-year PhD program. NRT participation includes a year of fellowship funding plus support to present work at a national conference. Replace this with the exact, current details.
