Inverse problems, where we seek the values of inputs to a model that lead to a desired set of outputs, are a challenges subset of problems in science and engineering. In this work we demonstrate the use of two generative AI methods to solve inverse problems. We compare this approach to two more conventional approaches…

Solving optimization problems, especially for nonlinear and constrained systems, is a challenge. Decades of specialized algorithms have been developed for general and special cases of root finding, minimization (including constraints), for parameter estimation, and mapping connected spaces. These approaches typically…

In this work we present a new approach that we use to simulate and optimize multiple dividing wall columns at the same time. Instead of considering all model equations as constraints and all process variables as optimization variables in a large and highly nonlinear optimization problem we only incorporate a subset of…

We present a new algorithm for the optimization of molecular structures to saddle points on the potential energy surface using a redundant internal coordinate system. This algorithm automates the procedure of defining the internal coordinate system, including the handling of linear bending angles, e.g. through the…

A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation for symbolic regression was proposed to identify physical models from noisy experimental data. The formulation was tested using numerical models and was found to be more efficient than the previous literature example with respect to the number of predictor…

Experimental design plays an important role in efficiently acquiring informative data for system characterization and deriving robust conclusions under resource limitations. Recent advancements in high-throughput experimentation coupled with machine learning have notably improved experimental procedures. While Bayesian…

Model-based optimization strategies, such as Bayesian optimization (BO), have been deployed across the natural sciences in design and discovery campaigns due to their sample efficiency and flexibility. The combination of such strategies with automated laboratory equipment and/or high-performance computing in a…

Automated chemistry platforms hold the potential to enable large-scale organic synthesis campaigns, such as producing a library of compounds for biological evaluation. The efficiency of such platforms will depend on the schedule according to which the synthesis operations are executed. In this work, we study the…

In a recent paper in this journal (Chem. Mater. 2022, 34, 2545-2552), Twyman et al. studied the environmental stability of crystals by introducing a greedy heuristic algorithm for determining possible oxidation reactions. We show how the problem can be solved exactly, with less code and comparable computational time by…

Would you rather search for a line inside a cube or a point inside a square? Physics-based simulations and wet-lab experiments often have symmetries (degeneracies) that allow reducing problem dimensionality or search space, but constraining these degeneracies is often unsupported or difficult to implement in many…

A novel application to determine stability constants from supramolecular titration experiments is presented. The focus lies on NMR titration and ITC experiments for pure 1:1 systems, as well as mixed 2:1/1:1, 1:1/1:2 and 2:1/1:1/1:2 systems. SupraFit provides global and local fitting and a global search tool.…

Rapid and robust simulation of chemical processes is critical to conduct process design, optimization, techno-economic analysis, and sustainability analysis. Yet, efficiently solving simulation models remains a challenge due to the highly coupled and nonlinear nature of the underlying algebraic equations that capture…
