4 Postdoctoral Researchers in AI for Sustainable Molecules and Materials programme

This new RPA AI4SMM combines several core strengths of the Faculty, including pioneering molecular and material science, broad knowhow and expertise in sustainability and circular economy development, and world-leading competence in data science and artificial intelligence.

The urgent need for humanity to transition our society into a circular sustainable economy requires interdisciplinary collaborative efforts to investigate and develop new molecules and materials that are not dependent on fossil fuels, are safe and sustainable by design, and help us quickly forward towards a sustainable society. In the new AI4SMM laboratory, we develop and apply artificial intelligence to design sustainable molecules, materials, and the processes to make them, in a team with physicists, chemists, biologists, ecologists, and informatics scientists. You will work on one of four starting projects on the topics of
Metamaterials for sustainable steel or;
Salt hydrates for thermal energy storage or;
Chemical additives in plastics or;
Plant protein mixtures for sustainable food design.
