Hello, I am Muhammed Nur Talha Kilic. I am a first year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Northwestern University.
I have been working with Prof. Ankit Agrawal, Prof. Alok Choudhary, and Prof. Wei-Keng Liao. Computer Vision technologies, as opposed to mathematical based ones, supported by deep learning solutions are fascinating me.
Nowadays, I am a part of a group engaging in material science related projects such as designing strong and light alloys or materials used in high tech industries, and prediction mechanism that foresees faults in the production lines before it occurs by means of cameras and sensors.
My latest project is to decrease the time of the simulation that creates alloys as to given properties by using deep learning technologies. To dive into this, a microstructure may consist of hundreds of compounds that constitute material properties. Take a steel as an example, it has many elements with different percentages from aluminum to iron to titanium. The amount of elements can be measured with many experiments that cost too much. However, my group aims to develop a simulation with neural networks that predicts the properties of alloys without making physical experiments so that we would accomplish saving resources.
