Working Group 4

Process-structure-property relationships in materials. Novel insights and applications.

Representative areas of research:

  • theory and discovery of energy and charge generation, conversion, and storage;
  • materials processing for sustainability & recycling;
  • materials discovery and new functional materials.

Leader: Julia Westermayr

Julia is an Assistant professor for ‘Artificial Intelligence in Theoretical Chemistry‘ at Leipzig University, Germany.

Her research focuses on the development of machine learning algorithms tailored to the optimisation, discovery and design of chemical reactions, with particular emphasis on excited states and techniques for managing limited and noisy (experimental) data.
