I am a chemist by training (undergrad at TU Munich and EPFL) but realized that in order to solve some of the most pressing challenges we must make chemistry much more efficient: 
Currently, chemists spent a large chunk of their replicating failed experience and just gathering experience. 

I think we can address this information-bottleneck with data-driven methods and have been focussing on this since my Ph.D. in the group of Berend Smit at EPFL.  Following short (<1 month) PostDoc at EPFL, I joined the FSU Jena as a research group leader (as of mid June 2023), where I am also member of the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry Jena and the Jena Center for Soft Matter. 
I also co-lead the ChemNLP project, with support from OpenBioML.

and meet me in the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry Jena, Philosophenweg 7a (visiting address, office 209), 07743 Jena, Germany.

I am easiest to contact via email.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering &
Biotechnology from Aalborg University, and a Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from TU
Delft. My academic journey in these fields has shaped my expertise and passion for the exciting convergence of artificial intelligence and chemistry.

I grew up in Kerala (also know as Gods own Country), India.  I studied Physics at BIT Mesra for my bachelor's degree and pursued a Masters in Energy from IIT Bombay.  My research interest is in accelerating discovery and design of new practical materials leveraging AI, developing algorithms and tools that can simulate / bridge calculations at different scales. Outside the lab, I enjoy cooking, taking walks, watching Anime, and exploring the Internet.

I completed my Master's thesis at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems.

I am from Uttar Pradesh, India and currently pursuing Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from IIT Delhi. My interests are in development and machine learning.

Born and bred in the city of Orlu, Nigeria, my journey in chemistry started with an undergraduate study at the Imo State University Owerri. Currently, I am a final semester student in the Chemistry of Materials master`s program at FSU Jena. My goal is to harness the promising potential of AI in facilitating the discovery of special materials in chemistry.

I did my bachlelor's degree in chemistry and I'm currently in my 3rd semester of my master studies in chemistry at the FSU Jena.

My interest are primarily polymers and machine learning in chemistry.
