Exciting news!

Thanks @imvaddi.bsky.social! We're looking for datasets where polymer/molecular structure varies between data points

Do you know of any papers that have datasets of organic materials (polymers, molecules) with experimental parameters–not material properties, but stuff like concentration, temperature, whatever?

New preprint online: A flow cell for data validation in computer vision. Computer vision is amazing for reaction monitoring, analytical chemistry, and self-driving laboratories, but it has a flaw… let’s dig deep into this research. #Chemsky 1/n

Today's a big day for @ddomlab.org! My first PhD student, Sina Dehghan, presents his research at #ACSSpring2025

Bon résumé.

I've had many discussions with colleagues about the future of publishing, especially about how antiquated the current static web page & PDF model is. This write-up in Nature
about curvenote.com is exactly what we need!

Surprisingly common in my experience

Agreed! Reposting to annoy my Celsius friends 😉

Gyros PurePep chorus recently installed in the Data-Driven Organic Materials Lab @ NC State

Another instrument is up and running! We set up our
Gyros PurePep Chorus last Friday. Keep an eye out for exciting developments on this front 👀

We just completed the installation of Big Purchase #1 ™️: a quadruple (!) detector SEC from Tosoh. This bad boy has RI, UV, MALS, & viscometry 💪 We're really excited to start getting some absolute molecular weights!

Special shoutout to Quyen and her students at UCSB for their dedication to extracting all the data! And to Aspuru-Guzik group students Stanley Lo and Gary Tom for their work putting together a lot of the ML pipeline

We discuss the potential and current limitations of data for OPV devices. We also provide the first dataset of OPV materials and device fabrication parameters, and discuss many of the challenges that face the field due to lax reporting standards.

Beyond molecular structure: critically assessing machine learning for designing organic photovoltaic materials and devices Our study explores the current state of machine learning (ML) as applied to predicting and designing organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. We outline key considerations for selecting the method of encod...

Our exploration of #ML to predict #OPV device performance from molecular structure of the materials *and* processing data is now officially published in J Mater Chem A as part of their 2024 Emerging Investigators series!

Heading to my first (!) #S24MRS tomorrow to give an invited talk about machine learning from OPV data and data reporting standards.

Come find me in EN04.02 or drop me a DM if you're in Seattle too!

Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not? Ater all, AI has been creeping into our homes for years (think smart lightbulbs and Alexa) – but thanks to generative AI, these interactions will become even more human and more personal. Imagine, for example, asking your washing machine whether it’s safe to wash a beloved item of clothing on a certain setting – literally, asking it out loud or via an app. Or you could say to your fridge, “Hey, when am I going to run out of milk?” and it’ll tell you. Integrating generative AI into everyday products could lead to a new era of smart appliances that are not only more adaptive to our needs but also more interactive and engaging.

Hell. You are describing hell. Nobody wants an “interactive and engaging” dishwasher. They just want their dishes cleaned. www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...

IMO, this is the correct response. Trying to figure out if this is chaotic good or lawful neutral...

Out now on ChemRxiv! We explored using machine learning to predict OPV device performance from molecular structure of the materials *and* processing data. Hopefully this somewhat didactic approach is useful to those in the field who are interested in ML.

Chemspyd: An Open-Source Python Interface for Chemspeed Robotic Chemistry and Materials Platforms We introduce Chemspyd, a lightweight, open-source Python package for operating the popular laboratory robotic platforms from Chemspeed Technologies. As an add-on to the existing proprietary software s...

With apologies to everyone who I've been telling "It'll be out soon", I'm excited to say:

Chemspyd, our open-source Python API to control Chemspeed platforms is FINALLY live on PyPI!!

We welcome feedback and contributions from the community.
