The 15th Symposium
Accelerated Chemical Science with AI

September 25-28, 2022

With the unprecedented developments of AI technology, chemical science is now entering a completely new era in which the
high-performance computing  and virtual screening identifies the compounds to synthesize for target applications, automated robotics
perform synthesis and characterizations, and AI suggests new experiments based on the data robotic platform collects.
In this autonomous future laboratory workflow, data science plays a central role to accelerate the  new discovery in chemical science.

The symposium will highlight methods of machine learning, high performance computing,  robotics and experiments, 
and their applications that are broadly defined to address chemical science problems, including accelerating the discovery of novel
molecules/drugs/materials, property predictions, chemical reaction predictions, inverse design strategies, quantum machine learning,
statistical mechanics, and lab automation.
