Carlos de la Cruz joined Big Data Summer School Organized by Max Planck Research Network
Carlos de la Cruz attended the “Big Data Summer School" in Platja d’Aro (Girona, Spain) from 9th till 13th of September that was organized by the Max Planck research network. During this event, the recent advances on Big Data, Machine learning or Artificial Intelligence in the field of materials science were presented. Nowadays, the computational materials science is entering a new era, where there is a huge number of data generated from calculations and experiments. It is also called as the “4V challenge” based on the Volume (of data), Variety (different information and meaning of data), Velocity (related with new information and changes on the information obtained before) and Veracity (Quality of the data). Carlos got acquainted with new methods and techniques how to handle and analyse the big amount of complex data that he is generating in his research. Moreover, Carlos had the opportunity to present his research during a poster session and discuss the results with other scientists and participants from the summer school.
