Yet, computational efforts of the last 2+ decades have primarily focused on reactions involving small molecules (C<sub>1-2</sub>, O<sub>1</sub>, N<sub>1</sub>) that are activated by high-symmetry sites of extended surfaces at low surface coverages. In contrast, most industrial processes involve large multi-functional molecules (e.g., cyclic hydrocarbons, nitroarenes etc.) that are activated by low-symmetry sites of nanoclusters under high surface coverages. Machine learning methods have emerged as a powerful approach to bridge this gap between first principles models and reality. Using physics-inspired machine learning trained on small datasets by active learning, we identify next-generation bimetallic Pt catalysts for dehydrogenating liquid organic hydrogen carriers like methylcyclohexane. Using machine learned potentials, we rationalize why functionalized nitroarenes adsorb in self-assembled monolayer-like arrangements on Pd catalysts, consistent with <em>in situ</em> surface characterization. We distil our learnings into a forward-looking viewpoint of the do’s and don’ts in using machine learned potentials to predict the surface structure and reactivity of multi-functional molecules.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nTej has been a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore since Dec. 2019.

Target ALS funds investigators who collaborate across scientific disciplines and research constituencies to drive medical breakthroughs for the treatment of ALS.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAs new therapeutics have begun moving the needle for ALS patients, tracking disease progression and monitoring the effects of drug treatment have become even more important. Biomarkers are needed to stratify patient populations, understand response to therapeutics, and quantify disease progression. The foundation is soliciting proposals from multidisciplinary groups focused on the discovery and development of novel fluid or tissue-based biomarkers of disease progression and stratification using novel, innovative, and complementary approaches including applications of AI and machine learning (ML).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAlthough all groups studying disease progression biomarkers are eligible to apply, Target ALS is particularly interested in supporting projects that propose the study of:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>novel biomarkers predictive of disease progression or phenoconversion </li>\r\n\t<li>biomarkers with utility as treatment response </li>\r\n\t<li>biomarkers for patient population stratification (e.g., fast vs slow progressors, cognitive impairment, peripheral immunity)</li>\r\n\t<li>novel analytical approaches to blood-based biomarkers, including AI/ML-extracted signatures</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nConfidentiality of the investigator’s data, research, and intellectual property will be strictly honored.
