We combine ML + #DigitalTwins to autonomously design photoreactors with high light capture and uniform irradiation. A virtual photoreactor guides #BayesianOptimization, allowing numerous designs in silico and fabrication only of the best candidates.

Self-driving labs are transforming chemistry; but high cost & complexity limit access to a few well-funded labs.
We wanted to change that.

📄 New Paper Alert: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines.
Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow.

First stop in USA East Coast lecture tour: Merck Rahway, great to discuss #FlowChemistry, #HTE, #SelfDrivingLabs and synthetic methodology with our friends in the pharma industry
Our ChemRxiv article keeps moving; thanks #ChemistryWorld for covering the debate. Critics say it’s “too early” for conclusions, yet mixing principles are grounded in 100+ years of science. Read and make up your own mind.

Earlier this year, a paper came out that suggested for many organic reactions stirring has little effect on reactions rates. Now, a group has released a preprint arguing that stirring remains critical for reproducibility, selectivity and scalability.
Failing to mix reactions in heterogeneous or industrial systems could cause numerous issues and might even be dangerous, preprint claims
