About The Book

"Data Analytics for Materials Science" by Jeffrey P. Simmons introduces the crucial intersection of data analytics and materials science. As data analytics becomes increasingly important in materials research, this book provides the practical tools and statistical methods needed to analyze large datasets, specifically in the context of microstructure characterization. The text explores advanced techniques, including inverse methods, denoising, and data modeling, essential for modern materials science research.

The book features an in-depth discussion of several key topics, including compressed sensing methods, stochastic models, extreme estimation, and various approaches to pattern detection. These methodologies are particularly useful for researchers who are tasked with analyzing complex materials data and seeking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their analyses.

With contributions from experts such as Charles A. Bouman, Marc De Graef, and Lawrence F. Drummy Jr., this book stands out for its ability to bridge the gap between computational methods and materials science. It serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and students in materials science, as well as professionals working in fields requiring the analysis of large-scale image datasets and microstructural data.
