Organic Chemistry
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.
