Artificial Intelligence in Polymer Reactions Engineering

Artificial intelligence is not just transforming technology, it’s redefining how we work, create, and shape the future of human progress.
For chemical engineers, AI is becoming a powerful catalyst for innovation – optimizing processes, accelerating material discovery, and driving smarter, more sustainable solutions.

We had an honor to welcome František Šefčík, an experienced AI Engineer with a strong background in data science at Polymer Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, where he gave a lecture
“Artificial Intelligence in Polymer Reactions Engineering”.

We have learned about AI/ML fundamentals, key challenges for AI in Polymer reaction engineering, about preparation of datasets, application scenarios & models and other practical steps.
I truly hope that this seminar will inspire young polymer chemists to explore the potential of AI in their research and spark future collaborations at the exciting intersection of polymer science and artificial intelligence.
