Machine Learning Applications in Physics –A Focus on Material Science
The five-day workshop conducted from 16th to 20th March 2026, under the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) – Physics Without Frontiers (PWF) Sri Lanka program was successfully concluded in collaboration with the Department of Physics, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. The program addressed existing gaps in machine learning (ML) training within the fields of physics and materials science in Sri Lanka. It provided participants with practical ML expertise through a combination of lectures and hands-on sessions, while also fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
