        Exploring LLM Applications in Materials Science 1.107 (IRIS Adlershof)

        1.107

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        In this session, we will explore the potential applications of Language Models (LLMs) in Materials Science and Research Data Management. We'll discuss how tools like ChatGPT can assist in code development, report writing, paper drafting, and file parsing. Following this, we'll discuss insights from a recent overview paper stemming from a hackathon on LLMs for materials science.1 The session will wrap up with a brainstorming segment on how FAIRmat might integrate this technology.

        Strategy and protocols for documentation in NOMAD 1.121 (IRIS Adlershof)

        1.121

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        In this session we will have a look at the current documentation of NOMAD. We will get an overview of the existing how-tos and other artefacts. We will discuss the documentation structure, collect ideas to improve the documentation, and brainstorm what the largely missing tutorial section should be. We will also discuss the potential for automatically generated reference documentation (e.g. for schemas), the technical documentation system in general, and how all areas can contribute to the documentation.

        NOMAD Oasis roadmap 1.107 (IRIS Adlershof)

        1.107

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        We will start by discussing new future features, current issues, and versioning, for NOMAD OASIS installations. In this way, new features can be harmonized across areas and use-cases. We will then briefly explain the current implementation of OASIS-to-Central connectivity and review the last inter-area meeting regarding legal issues, data transfer, log file transfer, and general federated infrastructure in FAIRmat. We then collect more refined requirements on this specific feature.

        1.107

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        One of the key objectives for the success of FAIRmat is to present an access point for the FAIR materials-science data where synthesis, experimental characterization, and computational data are searchable and browsable in a homogenized fashion. In this session, we summarize the recent activities towards this harmonization, with a focus on the ongoing development of interoperable "base sections" and the creation of a materials property taxonomy (formal classification). The time is ripe for critical input from all PIs (areas A,B,C,E) on the ongoing effort and prioritization of future efforts.

        2.049

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        In this talk, Pavel Ondračka will present how the NOMAD project has assisted him in his research and how it has played a crucial role in the management of computational materials research data that he has accumulated over several years of his Ph.D. and two postdoc positions. An examination will be conducted regarding some of the challenges encountered when deploying NOMAD Oasis in two different research groups, one at Materials Chemistry, RWTH Aachen, and the other at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology, Masaryk University Brno. Furthermore, various aspects of the user experience will be discussed, including more advanced topics such as parser development, data migration between Oases, and the operation of Oasis within a Kubernetes cluster.

        Invited user talk: Facilitating FAIR Data Principles in Perovskite Solar Cell Research using NOMAD 2.049 (IRIS Adlershof)

        2.049

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        In the rapidly evolving field of perovskite solar cell research, maintaining awareness of current progress while still focusing on one's own research can be challenging. Transitioning towards standardised FAIR data structures, promoting transparency and reproducibility will advance progress in this research domain. This presentation will highlight how NOMAD Oasis supports experimental material researchers in the perovskite photovoltaics field. A live demonstration featuring experimental planning, documentation, as well as automated data evaluation will be presented. Particularly, in conjunction with a highly repeatable robotic spin-coating setup, the realization of this vast potential may be closer than anticipated.

        Kick-off meeting for the PSinNFDI forum: Incorporating RDM education into university courses in Germany 1.107 (IRIS Adlershof)

        1.107

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        Educating students in data literacy and the FAIR principles is vital for the next generation of scientists. The Physical Sciences in NFDI group (PSinNFDI) recognizes the shared challenges and opportunities in data literacy education and plans to establish a collaborative forum.
        In this workshop, we will introduce the PSinNFDI forum and bring together consortia within the physical sciences discipline as well as interested educators in Germany to discuss and advance the implementation of data literacy in university courses. The workshop will focus on sharing experiences, identifying common challenges, exploring collaboration opportunities and sharing knowledge and resources.

        1.107

        IRIS Adlershof

        Zum Großen Windkanal 2, 12489 Berlin

        This workshop aims to promote research data management (RDM) practices that adhere to the FAIR principles - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable - within scientific projects. Participants will embark on a comprehensive journey through the entire research data lifecycle, gaining insight into best practices for effective data management at each stage.
        We will explore the FAIR Data Principles and highlight their practical application throughout the RDM process. A special focus will be on Data Management Plans (DMPs), where we'll explore the different requirements imposed by different funding agencies. This workshop will provide valuable tips and real-world examples to help you write each section of your DMP.
        Whether you are an experienced researcher or just beginning your academic journey, this workshop will empower you to unlock the significant impact of data management and advance your research.
