Welcome to MIRAGE

Microstructure Insights through Reliable/Interpretable AI and Guided Experiments

🔬 Scientific Vision

MIRAGE aims to discover the fundamental mechanisms and control parameters underlying fatigue processes, including rare events such as self-healing, by developing advanced tools and scientific methods based on interpretable AI models.

🎯 Research Objectives

  • Discover Fatigue Mechanisms Across Scales
  • Interpret & Explain Fatigue Mechanisms Through Interpretable AI
  • Elicit Mechanisms via Design of Experiments

📊 Scientific Impact

  • Discovering fundamental mechanisms behind emergent processes under complex conditions like fatigue
  • Transforming scientific discovery by moving beyond human cognition and traditional methods through AI-driven strategies to modernize scientific practices
  • Empowering scientists with interpretable models and design-of-experiments tools that overcome cognitive, data-integration, and interpretation barriers for better decision-making on scientific problems
