Read moreThe new Research Priority Area in Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Molecules and Materials (AI4SMM) aims to produce “breakthroughs in sustainable innovation with AI and computational methods for molecules and materials to aid in realising the materials transition needed for a sustainable society“. Last winter, AI4SMM opened a call to fund four interdisciplinary 2-year postdoctoral fellowships. […]
Read moreOur collaborative paper with the Frankfurt groups lead by Robert Covino and Gerhard Hummer just appeared in Nature Computational Science. Arjun and Peter Bolhuis contributed with their modelling expertise in methane-hydrate nucleation and crystallisation. They were able to show that, for the first time, an algorithm can automatically learn the essence about a switch from […]
Read moreDr Alberto Pérez de Alba Ortíz has been appointed as assistant professor in Computational Soft Matter, affiliated both to the van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences and the Informatics Institute. Using machine learning- and free energy-based strategies, he aims to design novel living-like materials with tunable and responsive properties. Such materials promise solutions for […]
