| | ## 🏛️ About Us |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | **Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT)**, established in 1958, is a high-level national university directly affiliated with the Ministry of Education of China. We are a key member of the national **"Project 211"** and the **"985 Project Innovation Platform"**, actively leading in China's **"Double First-Class"** university construction plan. |
| |
|
| | With a legacy of over 60 years, BUCT has evolved into a multi-disciplinary research university with a formidable reputation in science and engineering. We rank **6th globally in Chemical Engineering** (ARWU) and host world-class faculties in Materials Science, Intelligent Process Engineering, and Life Sciences. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### 🌟 Our Mission: Synthesizing Nature through Intelligence |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | We are dedicated to bridging the gap between fundamental molecular science and advanced artificial intelligence. This organization serves as the digital nexus for our open-source contributions, fostering a global community where chemistry meets computation (AI for Science). |

|
| |
|
| | ## 🔬 Research Pillars: AI for Science (AI4S) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | Our open-source initiatives are organized around four strategic pillars where BUCT possesses unique domain expertise: |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### 1. AI for Materials & Chemistry (AI4Mat) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | Leveraging the **Materials Genome Initiative**, our researchers in the *College of Materials Science and Engineering* and the *State Key Laboratory of Organic-Inorganic Composites* are revolutionizing material discovery. |
| |
|
| | - **Polymer Informatics:** Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for predicting thermal, mechanical, and degradation properties of complex polymers. |
| | - **Supramolecular Intelligence:** Generative models for designing self-assembling photosensitizers and nano-diagnostic agents for precision medicine. |
| | - **Crystallography & DFT:** AI-assisted phase identification from XRD patterns and Neural Force Fields for accelerating Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. |
| | - **Green Catalysis:** Deep learning frameworks for optimizing catalytic pathways in sustainable chemical processes. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### 2. Intelligent Process Systems (Industrial AI) |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | Led by the *Engineering Research Center of Intelligent Process Systems Engineering*, we focus on the safety and efficiency of large-scale industrial systems. |
| |
|
| | - **Fault Detection & Diagnosis:** Robust models benchmarked on the Tennessee Eastman (TE) process for identifying anomalies in complex chemical plants. |
| | - **Soft Sensing:** Virtual sensors driven by machine learning to estimate hard-to-measure process variables in real-time. |
| | - **Industrial IoT & Edge AI:** Lightweight models optimized for FPGA and embedded systems, enabling real-time monitoring in hazardous environments. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### 3. Robotics & Autonomous Perception |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | The *College of Information Science and Technology* and the *Heke Autonomous Driving Team* push the boundaries of embodied AI. |
| |
|
| | - **Autonomous Driving:** Multi-modal fusion perception models (LiDAR + Vision) for unmanned vehicles in complex urban and industrial scenarios. |
| | - **Specialized Robotics:** Control algorithms for underwater robots and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) designed for environmental monitoring. |
| | - **Vision-Language Models:** Large-scale models adapted for visual reasoning in dynamic physical environments. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### 4. Bioinformatics & Digital Life |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| | Integrating biology with big data, the *School of Life Science and Technology* pioneers computational solutions for health and synthesis. |
| |
|
| | - **Synthetic Biology (SynBio):** AI-driven pathway design for microbial synthesis of high-value chemicals (e.g., 2-phenylethyl alcohol), building on our iGEM successes. |
| | - **Precision Medicine:** Deep learning models for identifying cancer biomarkers (e.g., in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma) and predicting drug-target affinity. |
| | - **Microbial Omics:** Tools for analyzing complex microbiome data in fermentation and environmental contexts. |
