What is the use of Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry?

Artificial intelligence and chemistry: an innovative synergy. Far from replacing experimentation, AI is accelerating research in chemistry. Thanks to machine learning algorithms and advanced simulations, researchers can explore immense chemical spaces, predict the properties of compounds and automate complex tasks that were once time-consuming and costly.
The 2nd Pôle de Recherche Chimie seminar dedicated to artificial intelligence in chemistry aims to explore recent advances and future prospects for AI in chemistry, highlighting its impact on research and industry. The plenary lecture entitled "Addressing sustainability challenges in chemistry using AI tools" will be given by Professor Alexei Lapkin (University of Cambridge, UK).

The program

• 2:15pm - Welcome - coffee
• 2:30 pm - Pr Anne Lurent (Director of ISDM and Vice President for Open Science and Research Data at UM); "UM's AI strategy".
• 15h - 16h - Pr Alexei Lapkin (Professor of Sustainable Reaction Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK); "Addressing sustainability challenges in chemistry using AI tools".

Speakers

Prof. Anne Lurent (Director of ISDM and Vice President for Open Science and Research Data at UM)

Anne Laurent is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Montpellier, and Vice-President for Open Science and Research Data.
A member of the LIRMM (FADO team dedicated to the Semantic Web and Open Science), her research focuses on databases and artificial intelligence (data warehousing, massive data mining, imprecision management, etc.).
Deeply committed to interdisciplinarity and building bridges between different communities, she is involved in a number of structuring and interface research projects. Anne teaches at Polytech Montpellier in the Computer Science and Management Department.

Prof. Alexei Lapkin (Professor of Sustainable Reaction Engineering, University of Cambridge, UK).

Pr Alexei Lapkin graduated with an MChem from Novosibirsk State University, specializing in membrane gas separation.

He then worked at Boreskov Institute of Catalysis prior to moving to the University of Bath where he was employed as a research officer, which allowed him to complete his PhD in the area of multiphase membrane catalysis.
In September 2009, he was appointed Professor of Engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick, a position he held until April 2013.

He then moved to the University of Cambridge, where he currently serves as Professor of Sustainable Reaction Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.

For the launch of this 2nd seminar on AI in Chemistry, a short and friendly format awaits you.

Possibility of credit validation for doctoral students!

Meet on April 11 at 2.15pm in the amphitheatre of the Balard research building.
