Chemistry and Machine Learning Software Packages. My research topics are intimately connected with the software systems that have been developed over the years. These systems are, in effect, public domain and available for use. However, their use up until now has been primarily under my supervision (due to limited documentation). Though, through the interfaces, they are becoming easier to use, they still don' t have a 'product' status. The available software has actually two purposes. The first as a tool to perform state of the art research, especially in the field of combustion science and chemistry in general. The software has been used to generate several oxidative combustion mechanisms for larger hydrocabons and has been published in several major journals. These tools can also be used as teaching aids for graduate courses in chemistry. The combustion software can be used to help the student understand the working and oxidative combustion behavior of larger hydrocarbons in a wide variety of temperature and pressure regimes. More generally, with the field of organic chemistry, the extensive database and molecular representation is ideal to study general principles of physical organic chemistry, both in terms of molecular properties and reactive properties. More on this topic can be seen in the Organic Chemistry Projects section. The available software can be obtained in the download section. |
