Hi #Chemsky and #AcademicBlueSky, I'm Maarten!
Time to introduce myself here. I am a final year PhD student in #ChemEng in Kevin Van Geem's group at UGent (Belgium). My research focuses on accelerating the use of continuous processes by using AI & ML and quantum chemistry. Happy to connect here!

In der Forschung wird bald nichts mehr ohne KI gehen, erklärt der Chemiker Maarten Dobbelaere im Interview. Aber welche KI? »Die bahnbrechende KI-Anwendung der Zukunft wird möglicherweise nicht das sein, was man heute unter KI versteht«, sagt er. #repost
Künstliche Intelligenz: »KI hat meine Erwartungen sogar übertroffen«
In der Forschung werden KI und Maschinenlern-Techniken immer wichtiger, erklärt der Chemiker Maarten Dobbelaere.

Google Scholar has "released" their h5-index for journals again, and this tells me nothing more than the number of review papers published by a journal. Perhaps, if we normalise the h5-index by the number of papers published in that journal, we might obtain a somewhat valuable indicator... #ChemSky

Visiting the University of York till the end of June. If anyone in the UK likes to chat about AI/ML in chemistry/ChemE, green chemistry, flow chemistry, or show me around their lab; I would love to connect and meet up!

What a week! I’m incredibly honoured to have been awarded a junior postdoctoral fellowship from @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social, with only 16.1% of applications funded this year.
This fellowship, hosted by UGent and VIB, allows me to work on self-driving labs and collaborate with leaders in the field!

🎓 Proud to share that I successfully defended my PhD in Chemical Engineering at Ghent University yesterday with my dissertation titled "Molecular Machine Learning for Chemical Reaction Engineering"!
🚀 Excited for what’s ahead and to further contribute to #AIforChemistry!

Deepwiki is awesome! It creates a wiki for every GitHub repository by replacing github.com by deepwiki.com. Just tried it out with Rxn-INSIGHT and now there is even more documentation and insight in reactions
