DESCRIPTION:This talk will highlight both the successes and th
 e stumbling blocks along the way to bring material
  science into the 21st century. Namely\, the combi
 nation of (i) high throughput experiment\, (ii) ma
 ssive computational resources\, (iii) machine lear
 ning\, and (iv) high energy beamlines is more than
  summative when conducted in concert. Given finite
  human resources (ie graduate students)\, these to
 ols serve as force multipliers to enhance their ca
 pabilities.   Over the last decade\, we have appli
 ed these techniques in thermoelectric and photovol
 taic materials.  This high through-put search of k
 nown and hypothetical compounds has led to the dis
 covery of new classes of materials for these two a
 pplications. Through the interplay of materials ph
 ysics and machine learning\, general principles fo
 r designing the next generation materials have eme
 rged. The talk will conclude with discussion of th
 e prospects for sequential learning coupled with p
 arallelization and automation to accelerate functi
 onal materials discovery.  \n\n
