Project description
 

Recent developments in artificial intelligence have aroused interest in automated synthesis of chemicals. An important aspect hereof is understanding how molecules react with each other, to find which (by-)products are formed. This requires both thermo-chemical data and extended reaction networks. Using ab-initio data and network generation software, a platform is to be designed allowing computational synthesis of chemicals.
