Atinary is delighted to announce that Professor Philippe Schwaller has joined Atinary’s Scientific Advisory Board!

Professor Schwaller is an expert in artificial chemical intelligence, specializing in AI-accelerated molecular discovery and synthesis. He is an Assistant Professor at EPFL‘s Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, where he leads the Laboratory of Artificial Chemical Intelligence (LIAC). His interdisciplinary expertise spans chemistry, materials science, computer science, and experimental research, representing a new generation of scientists driving innovation.

In addition to his role at EPFL, Professor Schwaller is a core principal investigator and work package leader at the NCCR Catalysis, a Swiss center dedicated to sustainable chemistry research, education, and innovation, as well as a co-lead of the Science pillar in the Swiss AI initiative.

His extensive publication record and groundbreaking work in machine learning for chemistry align seamlessly with Atinary’s no-code AI platform and Self-Driving Labs™ technology. Together, we aim to revolutionize R&D by enabling faster and more efficient discovery of materials and molecules.

Reflecting on his appointment, Professor Schwaller stated:

“My research sits at the intersection of chemistry and machine learning. AI is transforming synthesis and molecular discovery, bridging the gap between computational and experimental chemistry. I am excited to collaborate with Atinary on to build practical tools for chemists to accelerate scientific breakthroughs.”

Dr. Hermann Tribukait, Co-Founder and CEO of Atinary, commented: “Philippe’s exceptional contributions in chemistry and AI will be instrumental in advancing our mission to transform R&D and discovery with Atinary’s Self-Driving LabsTM technology. Our goal is to develop technology solutions to some of the biggest global challenges in health, energy, food, and beyond.”

Dr. Loïc Roch, Co-Founder and CTO of Atinary, added: “Working with Philippe will help us push the frontiers of AI-driven experimentation. Our technology augments scientists and technicians in industry and academia with powerful tools to enhance key products and discover new ones.

We warmly welcome Professor Schwaller to the team and look forward to shaping the future of AI-driven scientific discovery together!
