Join us for a one-day symposium bringing together researchers working in catalysis and energy materials with AI experts developing and applying machine learning methods in this space.
The programme features talks from leading researchers across chemistry, materials science, and AI, showcasing real-world applications of data-driven approaches in catalysis, interfaces, electrolytes, membranes, and energy materials.
The day will combine invited talks, discussion, and dedicated networking time, providing opportunities to share ideas, learn about emerging methods, and spark new interdisciplinary collaborations across experimental, computational and machine learning research in the area of catalysis and energy materials.
Who Should Attend:
This symposium is designed for:
- Academics and researchers in catalysis, interfaces, and energy materials who are interested in applying AI and machine learning to enhance, accelerate, or expand their research.
- AI and machine learning experts looking to apply novel computational approaches to challenges in catalysis, reaction engineering, molecular discovery, and energy‑relevant materials.
Whether your work is experimental, theoretical, computational, or method‑development‑focused, this event offers a unique opportunity to build connections across disciplines and gain insights into the rapidly evolving intersection of AI, catalysis, and materials discovery.
