Furthermore, it aims to organize and present this high value knowledge in highly accessible forms to end-users engaged in product design and design for manufacturing efforts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs such, this emerging field has a pivotal role in realizing the goals outlined in current strategic national initiatives such as the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe key to good properties and performance characteristics of most materials lies in tailoring their internal structures, referred to as microstructures,\u201d Kalidindi said.\u0026nbsp; \u201cAlthough this has been known for some time,\u0026nbsp;there has not been a practical approach to quantifying the connections between the material microstructure and its properties. Materials Informatics presents a rigorous data-driven approach for addressing this challenge.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKalidindi said he hopes his book will have a transformative effect on the materials engineering community.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis book introduces a paradigm in how one might organize materials knowledge in forms that can be readily utilized by product design and advanced manufacturing experts,\u201d he said.\u0026nbsp; \u201cAs such it can help establish tightly knit connections between the materials community and the design and manufacturing community.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EKalidindi has joint appointments in the School of Computational Science and Engineering and in the School of Materials Science and Engineering. His research efforts during the past two decades have made seminal contributions to the fields of crystal plasticity, microstructure design, spherical nanoindentation, and materials informatics. His work has already produced about 200 journal articles, four book chapters, and a new book on Microstructure Sensitive Design. He is well cited by peer researchers as reflected by an h-index of 52 and current citation rate of about 1000 citations\/year (Google Scholar).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHe was recently awarded the Alexander von Humboldt award in recognition of his lifetime achievements in research.
