Research Chairs and Senior Research Fellowships 2023-24
Driven by global challenges like climate change and supply chain disruptions, the chemicals industry actively innovates new products and processes. However, many promising laboratory discoveries fail to translate into practical applications. To address this gap, this project aims to use automation and digitalisation in chemical laboratories to accelerate R&D through high-throughput experimentation. It aims to develop modelling and optimisation methods that integrate feedback from real-world applications into laboratory research effectively. By bridging decision-making across multiple scales, from microscopic to macroscopic, these methods will enhance the impact of laboratory developments while aligning R&D with larger-scale needs. Focusing on scale-bridging in various applications, such as flow experiments, continuous processes, and product development, the project aims to deliver mathematical models that accurately predict chemical behavior at smaller scales and remain applicable in decision-making and optimisation at larger scales.
