Episode 34: Dr. Emily Ryan on Computational Methods and Sustainability

With the rise of AI and machine learning, how are scientists incorporating these new tools in their research? With these computational methods, how are scholars stretching new limits and advancing our understanding of the world around us? On this exciting episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry, hosts Yeongseo Son and Ankur Rao talk about their interview with Dr. Emily Ryan, an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Director for the Institute for Global Sustainability at Boston University. Elaborating on her entirely computational lab, Dr. Ryan delves into her projects that deal with new-generation batteries, carbon capture, and more! She gifts us with stories of her discoveries, her motivations for working on sustainability, and her advice for the youth. We hope you enjoy!
