Very excited to share that our paper with @thilogross.bsky.social , “Counting Chemical Isomers with Multivariate Generating Functions,” has been published in Network Science.

Counting chemical isomers with multivariate generating functions - Volume 14
But it's not an easy task to count them as the process of counting swiftly becomes impossible due to numerous potential structural symmetries that result in the identical configurations.
The problem of counting objects in the presence of symmetry is often addressed using Pólya's counting theory.3/N
But I think the whole PhD has really been about preparing for exactly this phase: not just the research itself, but learning how to build your own system to deal with uncertainty, limited time, and pressure, and still move forward.2/3
