Chen Group: "Data-driven materials exploration and optimization"
Dr Linjiang Chen
- Assistant Professor of Digital Chemistry
- School of Chemistry
Overview
We build computational capabilities at the intersection of chemistry, chemical engineering, and computer science to underpin atomic-scale materials design, by fusing chemical knowledge with state-of-the-art computation ranging from quantum mechanics to data-driven heuristics. Our current mission is to use computation to inform experiment, with a longer-term vision of synchronizing computation with experiment in closed-loop discovery and optimization of molecules and materials for functions.

Dr Ruchi Gupta
- Associate Professor of Biosensors, Global Engagement Lead for the School of Chemistry
- School of Chemistry
Overview
We are developing label-free optical methods and technologies for sensing of chemical and biological analytes. Hydrogels and biconjugation approaches are key to the development of these methods/ technologies. The raw output of these sensors is in the form of images, which are processed in real-time for continuous monitoring of the concentration of analytes. We are interested in exploring the use of AI to analyse the output of our sensors.

Herten Group: "Fluorescent probes and single-molecule spectroscopy"
Professor Dirk-Peter Herten
- School of Chemistry, Chair in Cell Biology of Membrane Proteins
- Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences
Overview
We are developing spectroscopy tools for quantitative and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Aiming at protein counting and 3D super-resolution representation of protein networks, we are highly interested to further improve interpretation of spectra and images and to support the design of new fluorescent probes by use of machine-learning approaches.

Dr Robert Neely
- Associate Professor in Biophysical Chemistry
- School of Chemistry
Overview
We develop novel chemistry that allow us to tag specific genomic sequences. We are using these chemistries in imaging DNA sequence, in nanopore sequencing experiments and as a way to better understand the epigenome. Our work creates large, complex but information-rich datasets and we employ AI to help us better understand this data.

Softley Group: "Chemical dynamics at ultracold temperatures"
Professor Tim Softley FRS
- Professor of Chemistry
- School of Chemistry
Overview
We are developing new machine-learning approaches to the real-time analysis of fluorescence-images of Coulomb crystals – assemblies of 10s or 100s of laser-cooled ions in a Paul Trap that form ellipsoidal-shaped structures under the cooling/trapping conditions. We use these crystals as a medium for studying the kinetics and dynamics of chemical reactions at ultracold temperatures, following reactions by observing changes in the Coulomb crystal structure.
