Digital Alchemy's Emergence

In the digital age of the 21st Century, the scientific landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with large quantities of chemometrics data playing a crucial role. This transformation was the focus of a recent hour-long webinar, sponsored by JMP, a leading business analytics software and services provider, and part of SAS.

The webinar featured Professor Mimi Hii, the director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Synthesis & Reaction Technology (rEaCt) at Imperial College London, and a professor of catalysis in the Department of Chemistry. Mimi Hii is also the founder and director of the Centre for Rapid Online Analysis of Reactions (ROAR) at Imperial College London.

Professor Hii was joined by Volker Kraft, a senior academic ambassador at JMP, who gave an overview of the software in the webinar. Volker Kraft, with a background in electrical engineering, has applied analytics to various fields, including customer advocacy in telecommunications for Vodafone and Voxeo, and has used statistical methods to study psychoacoustics and speech communication.

The webinar discussed ways to solve bottlenecks in synthetic chemistry using data. With a multidisciplinary approach to teaching industry-relevant skills like Design of Experiments (DoE) being considered important to Imperial's industrial partners, the webinar provided valuable insights for scientists and engineers.

In addition to exploring current challenges, the webinar also delved into future challenges for synthetic chemistry. Understanding complexity is essential for scientists and engineers in the 21st Century, and the webinar provided a platform for discussing how data-driven solutions can help address these challenges.

JMP has been a part of SAS since the first version of JMP statistical discovery software was launched in 1989. As a testament to its commitment to advancing scientific research, JMP continues to sponsor webinars like this one, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field of synthetic chemistry.
