Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Internship 6 months: Mechanocatalyzed synthesis of health-related molecules, optimized by Artificial Intelligence
The internship, sponsored by a “Chem-IA” fellowship from the University of Montpellier, will aim at developing innovative catalytic solutions to make an amide bond, present in many molecules of interest, by a mechanochemistry/machine learning approach.
The tasks will include (i) carrying organic mechanochemistry experiments in an extruder (ii) developing an algorithm for a Bayesian optimization approach (iii) applying the developed methods to target molecules such as active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Event Description
Submit your abstract to the Symposium: Advancing Green Chemistry Education: The Process, Research and New Developments in Curricular Activities which will take place at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2025 meeting in CA& Hybrid.
Abstract
There is an increase in educational activities aimed at enhancing knowledge and use of Green Chemistry principles and applications. However, with demands in academia, this sometimes presents a barrier to wider adoption across the curriculum. This symposium explores the process of developing Green Chemistry activities, courses, and curricular changes, sharing how educators got started and progressed through development. The discussion will cover research, theory-based methodology, and pedagogical strategies used to revamp or develop activities, as well as chemical education research on this process. The session will also discuss the pivotal role of change agents—educators and researchers who drive the adoption of innovative practices and sustainable principles in education. By sharing the developmental journey and the theoretical underpinnings of our assessment strategies, the session aims to contribute to the broader discourse on advancing Green Chemistry education and to inspire ongoing research and implementation of effective teaching methodologies. Speakers from all sectors of the CHED community are invited to share how they are integrating green and sustainable chemistry, systems-thinking, toxicology, and social/environmental justice into their classrooms, laboratory curriculum, undergraduate research and outreach activities. Interdisciplinary and international perspectives are welcome, as are student speakers at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels, including those from minority-serving institutions.
Deadline for Submission is Monday, September 30.
