Presenting a talk on the application of deep learning towards the study and design of high-entropy alloy catalysts at @NAM29NACS in the "Using AI to Navigate Large Catalyst Design Spaces" session on June 10 (Tuesday) at 3:00 PM. Happy to chat and connect with those attending NAM!

Glad to share my latest manuscript published in J. Phys. Chem. C on an atomic scale study of the stability of bimetallic Pt alloys for electrochemical oxygen reduction using density functional theory, thermodynamics, and machine learning.
Congratulations to Gaurav (@ChemAndCode ) and Pushkar (@mepgg) for publishing their work on first-principles analysis of binary alloy catalyst stability! This study has been published in @JPhysChem in a special issue in honor of Jens Norskov. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We develop a computational framework to analyze key relationships between surface structure, composition, and thermodynamic stability of alloy catalysts and using this, we describe the origin and formation of "Pt skins" on Pt3Ni that are responsible for its exceptional activity.

In this work, we go beyond Cu catalysts, and explore oxide-derived Co catalysts for producing long-chain hydrocarbons! The experiments from @catalysis_eth have been followed up with simulations at @TheorHetCatICIQ, pin-pointing the role of polarized sites at the interface.
🔥Out in Advanced Energy Materials. Cobalt catalyzes CO2 electroreduction to long-chain hydrocarbons, with the highest chain growth probability reported for any electrocatalyst!👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @NCCR_Catalysis @ETH_DCHAB @ChemNUS @ICIQchem Stronger together! ✊

Thanks to @GroupGreeley for their unwavering support over the years. It's been a fun ride!
We recently celebrated Gaurav's (@ChemAndCode ) successful PhD defense at the Greeley Group favorite Bru Burger. We wish him all the best as he embarks his postdoc journey @NorthwesternU!

Excited to share our work on developing an active learning workflow to extrapolate formation energies of binary alloys to ternary alloys using a dropout graph convolutional network (dGCN), that provides associated uncertainty estimates as well.
Congrats to Gaurav (@ChemAndCode), Noah, and Nikolaos for their recent work on developing an active learning workflow to predict formation free energies of ternary alloys using a dropout graph neural network in NPJ computational materials (@Nature_NPJ). nature.com/articles/s41524-0…

We perform Bayesian optimization with a novel acquisition function inspired by statistical mechanics and show how to improve predictions on ternary alloys by relying primarily on binary alloy data and a few carefully sampled ternary data points.

We also utilize Diffusion Maps (courtesy of the Kevrekidis group), a non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, to provide more interpretability to the network's predictions and serve as a data-driven coordinate for optimization.

Thrilled to be part of this work! We show that DFT-based electronic structure predictions of Pt nanoparticles with varying sizes align well with expt. VtC-XES measurements. We also elucidate the influence of factors such as coordination and strain on the electronic structure.
Congrats to David Dean and Gaurav Deshmukh (@ChemAndCode) for their recent article in @CatalysisSciTec on studying the size-dependence of the electronic structure of Pt nanoparticles using Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

We recently bid farewell to @Kaustubh_Savant over a hearty group dinner. We wish him luck in all future endeavors! This also provided us with an opportunity to welcome and introduce new members, Brady, Masa, and Dhruv, to the group.
