What I do

I am passionate about building production-grade AI models and quantum-mechanical workflows. My focus ispredicting synthesis conditions, crystal structure and materials properties to enable the discovery of novel materials and mechanistic interpretation of complex and unprecedented synthetic outcomes.

Focus Areas
  • Text mining of scientific literature to extract synthesis conditions
  • Graph Neural Networks for predicting MOF synthesis from 3D crystal structures
  • MOF-based battery materials and electrochemistry
  • Hydrogen storage and CO2 capture
  • Cheminformatics and structure–property relationships
Research Vision
  • Deep-tech spinout. Structure-synthesis condition prediction for porous materials (MOFs/COFs)
  • Self-driving labs. Closed-loop AI that links simulation, synthesis and characterisation
  • Interpretable models that explain unexpected reaction outcomes and guide new chemistry
