In this application research area, the Center area aims to develop and build foundation models, specifically targeting the intricacies of material discovery in the energy sector. It will leverage the world-class chemistry infrastructure at KAUST, namely KAUST's robotic chemistry lab, and endow it with the capabilities of an AI chemist (pretrained on large-scale chemistry data and simulation) trained to optimize chemical processes and discover new materials with favorable properties. The lead of this theme is Professor Magnus Rueping.
