What this research studies
This research aims to develop data science-driven workflows that enhance the optimization of chemical reactions. By integrating algorithms with physical organic chemistry principles, the project seeks to predict the performance of various substrates, catalysts, and reagents in chemical reactions. This approach will streamline the traditionally costly and empirical process of reaction optimization, allowing for faster and more efficient development of new chemical methods. The ultimate goal is to transform the culture of reaction development into a more data-driven and insightful process.
