Research Summary: 

Based in MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering, we combine expertise in chemical engineering, computer science, and chemistry to improve the utility of computer-assistance for chemical discovery. The majority of our work is computational, but we maintain a strong interest in laboratory automation as applied to testing computational hypotheses, validating model predictions, and generating high-fidelity experimental data. We develop platform technologies and workflows with relevance to drug discovery, chemical synthesis, and materials science

Research Interest: 

autonomous discovery, machine learning, laboratory automation, chemical synthesis, molecular design, drug discovery
