DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gerbrand Ceder (University of California at Berkeley\, U
 SA)\nSixth NCCR MARVEL Distinguished Lecture\nNovel materials design is a 
 critical capability to address several urgent societal problems.  But mat
 erials development is difficult and time consuming due to the lack of quan
 titative information on the properties\, synthesis and behavior of novel m
 aterials.  The confluence of high-throughput computing\, big data\, and d
 ata analytics is likely to transform the way materials development is done
  in the next decade.  I will show several examples of the impact of the M
 aterials Genome in developing new materials and nucleating new ideas in ma
 terials science.  As one example\, the Materials Project has as its objec
 tive to use high-throughput first principles computations on an unparallel
 ed scale to provide basic materials property data on all known and many po
 tential new inorganic compounds\, thereby accelerating the search for new 
 materials.\nI believe it is possible to within ten years determine most of
  the intrinsic properties of all known compounds\, thereby generating the 
 Materials Genome.  Finally\, I will also describe how this will displace 
 the bottleneck of materials development towards materials synthesis\, and 
 show some initial work we have started to develop a quantitative theory of
  materials synthesis\, so that materials development can be accelerated al
 l the way from design to device integration.
