Project Grant 2141385

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded Northwestern University a $300,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support the EAGER: ADAPT: OPTIMIZING CHEMICAL REACTION NETWORKS WITH AI project from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The funding will allow Northwestern University researchers to advance the development of artificial intelligence techniques to optimize chemical reaction networks, with the goal of increasing the store of scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems in the mathematical and physical sciences as outlined by the NSF grant program. The two-year project period will provide $300k in funding for Northwestern University to conduct research at their Chicago, Illinois location applying AI methods to chemical engineering challenges.
