The goal of I-FIM is to develop new approaches in science which would allow us to deal with out of equilibrium phenomena. This will lead to the creation of Functional Intelligent Materials – materials which can be programmed to perform specific functions and even change their internal structures and functionality depending on the environment. 

Focused primarily on fundamental research, I-FIM also produces innovations in such areas as big data, machine learning, robotics, advanced functional materials.  We are looking for new applications of Functional Intelligent Materials in such areas as electronics, energy, healthcare, membranes and many others. . I-FIM will create the core expertise and facilities for the development of machine learning and AI solutions for smart technologies and material science in Singapore and worldwide.
