Data Driven Discovery and Design (4D)

The ever-increasing availability of data and computing power has led to rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods in a broad range of applications in cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and materials design. The 4D program aims to address the above challenges and accelerate the application of data science in industry. It provides core expertise in data analysis and data-driven discovery and design of materials and chemicals, along with collaborative opportunities across applications in chemical and biochemical engineering, and materials science.
