News Highlights
30 September 2025: A new opportunity for data scientists! Our group has a fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentship available. Details can be found here and on our Positions page. The deadline to submit is the 31st of October at 5 pm.
15 September 2025: We welcome two new students to the group - Bart Kowal and Qingyi Zhu! Bart will be working on reaction outcome prediction of radical-mediated transformations and Qingyi will be researching chiral molecule embeddings.
8 September 2025: The group welcomes Jackson Stamper, a visiting student from the Australian National University! Jackson will be working on ML-assisted structural elucidation.
1 September 2025: We say goodbye to Lupei who is now off traveling around Europe and welcome two new co-supervised PhD students: Fletcher Sharp, our joint-PhD student with the Lawrence group, and Elisa Mathieu, a joint student with the Thomas group. Fletcher will be working on ML-assisted total synthesis of dimer natural products and Elisa will be applying data-driven techniques to green catalysis methodology.
1 June 2025: We welcome Lupei Deng to the group as a Post Graduate Taught (PGT) student! Lupei will be working in our group for the next 10 weeks to gain experience in data-driven analytical chemistry.
1 Apr 2025: We welcome Julia Russ to the group! Julia is funded through our prestigious Brian R. Phillips Scholarship and will be working on reaction outcome prediction.
10 Mar 2025: The start of a new collaboration! We are delighted to announce that we have a fully funded joint PhD studentship for UK students with the Lawrence Group in ML-guided total synthesis. Details can be found here. The deadline to apply is 4 April 2025.
27 Feb 2025: We have just been awarded our first grant as an independent group! The Royal Society has funded our Research Grant in "Explainable Reaction Prediction with QSAR-Inspired Machine Learning".
