Catalysis Data Science

In the Bligaard research group we develop a data science-enhanced approach to studying catalytic systems, materials, and processes.

We:

  • Create data bases of atomic-scale simulations and experiments
  • Enhance search with atomic-scale simulations though the use of genetic algorithms
  • Device methods for uncertainty quantification in catalysis simulations
  • Accelerate simulations through the use of surrogate machine learning models and active learning
  • Make algorithms for treating large and complex reaction networks
  • Develop arbitrary-precision arithmetic tools for solving microkinetic models
