About the Research

Research Theme

Artificial Intelligence driven optimization of chemical reaction conditions

Keyword

Chemical databases, Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR), Machine learning, Active learning

Research Outline

My research activities lie in the use of chemoinformatics tools to better understand and predict chemical properties and mecanisms. I have been working on the design of predictive models for the prediction of eco-toxicological properties such as the ready biodegradability. During my PhD thesis, I focused on the virtual generation of new chemical compounds possessing desired properties (inverse-QSPR). I implemented and improved currents inverse-QSPR methods and proposed a set of new metrics to evaluate the performance of these methods. My current reseach focuses on the use of Active Learning to optimize reaction conditions.
