Sheffield University, UK
Prof. Nicola Morley, is a Professor of Materials Physics at the University of Sheffield, UK. Her research focuses on the design, fabrication and characterisation of functional magnetic materials for applications, including magnetostrictive materials for structural health monitoring of aircraft and magnetocaloric materials for refrigeration. More recently she has been using Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models to extract compositions and functional parameters from open source papers to create bespoke databases. These databases are then used to train machine learning algorithms to explore the vast compositional phase space to predict new magnetic materials, which are then fabricated and characterised using high-throughput combinatorial experiments.
