Stage for Co-creation

RCCSI leverages computational science and informatics to advance research and development and research digital transformation (DX) at Resonac. Our scope covers molecular and materials design at the microscale, structural and fluid simulations at the macroscale, and the integrated use of AI and Materials Informatics (MI) to predict and visualize complex phenomena in virtual environments. By combining diverse computational technologies, we elucidate fundamental principles and provide effective design guidelines from the early stages of research, optimize study domains, and streamline prototyping processes to enhance both development speed and accuracy. Furthermore, we advance quality improvement and process optimization through image analysis and predictive model development, while also building research DX infrastructure such as generative AI tools, electronic laboratory notebooks and databases. Working closely with technical divisions across Resonac, RCCSI accelerates the advancement and efficiency of R&D.
