Heat4Energy School “Simulations, data mining and artificial intelligence”

From November 17th to 19th, the school “Simulations, data mining and artificial intelligence” took place in Delft, Netherlands, for PhD students participating in the HEAT4ENERGY project. The event was hosted by partners at the Technical University of Delft (TUD).

Over the course of this intensive two-day program, students attended lectures on:

• Basics of phase field simulations
• Modeling of active magnetocaloric regenerators for heat pump applications
• Developing multiphysics software using finite elements
• First-principles theory of magnetic materials
• AI in computational Molecules and Materials research

In the practical sessions, participants engaged in hands-on exercises in finite elements, and the first-principles theory method.

In addition, students received insightful presentations on Science Communication and Commercializing magnetocaloric materials by Magneto. The program also included visits to Magneto and the Yes!Delft startup incubator.

Overall, the workshop was highly productive and sparked strong interest and engagement among all participants.
