The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded Colorado State University $600,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to support physics-informed artificial intelligence and machine learning frameworks for chemical design. Dr. Seonah Kim and her research group at Colorado State University's Department of Chemistry will develop interpretable, mechanism-aware graph neural network architectures that embed physical laws, reaction mechanisms, and molecular interactions into predictive models for reaction optimization, biocatalysis, and macromolecular engineering. The work spans high-throughput reaction condition optimization, biocatalyst property prediction, and macromolecular co-design. The project will deliver open-source machine learning tools freely available to the broader scientific community and is intended to accelerate discovery of pharmaceuticals, sustainable materials, and industrial catalysts by reducing experimental trial-and-error. The award supports graduate and undergraduate training at the interface of physical chemistry, cheminformatics, and machine learning, including opportunities for outreach, coding camps, and partnerships with national laboratories and industrial partners. Place of performance is Fort Collins, Colorado. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
