The 21st Century is a truly digital age, where our lives are dictated by data, transforming the scientific landscape and agenda across academia and industry. This will require a new generation of R&D scientists and engineers who know how to collect, analyse and utilise a large quantity of chemometrics data – as well as understand complexity.

In this webinar, we discuss some of the ways that data can be used to solve the existing bottlenecks in synthetic chemistry, and also some of the future challenges for the discipline. We also look at how a multidisciplinary approach teaching industry relevant skills like Design of Experiments (DoE) is important to Imperial’s industrial partners.

This hour-long webinar features Mimi Hii, professor of catalysis and director of the Centre for Rapid Online Analysis of Reactions at Imperial College London. Mimi is joined by Volker Kraft from JMP’s academic program, who gives an overview of the software.

During this webinar you will learn about:

  • The current challenges of synthetic chemistry (such as the Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge)
  • Types of data in chemistry: data-enabling tools that are currently available
  • Common misconceptions of high-throughput chemistry
  • Future challenges in hardware, software and expertise
  • Initiatives at Imperial College London such as DigiFAB Institute, ROAR, rEaCt CDT
