Research vision

One methodology, four connected chemical spaces

Current work is rooted in small-molecule chemical spaces. The same computational toolkit provides a deliberate route toward polymers, crystals, and metal–organic frameworks.

Core strategy

Build chemical space like LEGO

The LEGO-based strategy treats chemically meaningful fragments as reusable building blocks. Automated rules connect, substitute, or arrange those blocks to generate candidate structures; fast models screen the larger space; and quantum-chemical calculations refine the most promising candidates.

  1. Select blocksChoose chemically meaningful fragments.
  2. AssembleGenerate structures with controlled connection rules.
  3. ScreenPredict properties and remove unsuitable candidates.
  4. RefineValidate priorities using quantum chemistry.
