Simulation R&D Platform Developer

Recently,DP Technology(hereinafter referred to as "DP Technology") andSchool of Materials Science and Engineering, Peking University(hereinafter referred to as "PKU School of Materials")Sign a Strategic Cooperation Agreement, focusing on the direction of education and teaching, a three-year in-depth cooperation will be carried out to jointly explore a new paradigm for talent cultivation under the background of AI for Science (hereinafter referred to as "AI4S").

The two parties will specifically carry out cooperation in the following aspects:

AI4S Course Construction: By integrating the teaching resources of both parties, jointly building the AI4S curriculum system, and creating an AI4S teaching case library. DP Technology, relying on Bohrium® Bohr Research Space Station, provides platform support for teaching practice and scientific research services, enhancing students' AI4S practical abilities, and assisting the college in innovative development in teaching and scientific research.
AI4S Talent Cultivation：Relying on the strong background of Peking University's School of Materials in teaching, research, and faculty, as well as DP Technology's industrial advantages in the AI4S field, both parties will jointly develop AI4S-related training programs to serve the diverse needs of universities and enterprises in AI4S talent cultivation.
AI4S Internship Practice: Strengthen the linkage between schools and enterprises, encourage students to intern in enterprises, establish a long-term exchange and cooperation mechanism between schools and enterprises, promote the deep integration of education and industry, and facilitate the coordinated development of industrial and innovation chains.

This strategic cooperation will make full use of the advantageous resources of both parties, further deepen the integration of industry and education, and promote the interdisciplinary integration. The cooperation will give full play to...Bohrium® Space StationInTeaching Practice, Research Collaboration, Achievement TransformationThe advantages in this aspect打通 AI4S education, learning, research, and application at multiple levels, helping teachers and students of Peking University's School of Materials to carry out AI4S learning and practice more efficiently, and improving the efficiency and quality of scientific research work.

On October 26, 2024, in the event organized by the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking University"Boya Caisi" International Doctoral Academic ForumAbove, the two parties held a signing ceremony for this cooperation.Zou Ruqiang, Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking UniversityIt is noted that global technological competition is becoming increasingly fierce. As a crucial part of national science and technology strategy, new materials serve as an important foundation and support for scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading. The School of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking University remains committed to facing the forefront of global science and technology, actively embracing "AI for materials," and proactively collaborating with relevant enterprises. It hopes to join hands with DP Technology to explore new paradigms of AI-empowered scientific and technological innovation in the field of new materials, nurturing more young talents with a global perspective, solid academic foundation, and innovative capabilities.

Founder and Chief Scientist of DP Technology, Zhang LinfengIt is stated that AI for Science is having a broad and profound impact on the field of materials science. In this process, the interdisciplinary integration and the collaboration between industry, academia, and research will reach an unprecedented depth. The new era has put forward new requirements for talent cultivation. Students not only need to master theoretical knowledge but also continuously face new problems and challenges in practice, learning and applying new methods and technologies. It is hoped that through this collaboration, both parties can jointly explore a talent cultivation model for AI for Material Science, making progress hand-in-hand in curriculum development, talent certification, and internship opportunities, truly cultivating a group of outstanding talents who are proficient in both artificial intelligence and materials science.

DP Technology hopes to take this cooperation with the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Peking University as a starting point to integrate the advantageous resources of both parties and further carry out multi-level, multi-form, and multi-field educational teaching cooperation in the future, contributing to scientific research exploration and talent cultivation in the AI for Science field.
