AG Jablonka "Polymers in Energy Applications"

Research group leader

Research topics:

• Digital Chemistry: We leverage data-driven techniques to develop materials that work real world. We develop novel modeling, and sequential decision-making approaches with novel inductive biases and increased explainability and robustness to enable this.  
• Polymerinformatics: We design novel representations and modeling approaches for dealing with the challenges posed by polymers
• Research data managment: We develop tools that allow us to capture the tacit knowledge of chemistry.
