Abstract:
The journey to develop and reformulate products to become more sustainable has many challenges. Research and development in these areas often demand substantial time, resources, and new raw materials. To accelerate this process, predictive modeling offers the potential to identify promising ingredients, formulations, and even new packaging materials that meet sustainability requirements. A major obstacle in building and deploying useful models is data sparsity. One promising avenue to explore is multi-scale physics-based simulations, as they do not require large experimental datasets as inputs and can be combined with sparse existing data to generate more robust models. This talk will highlight a case study where physics-based simulation was used to accelerate the development of an eco-friendly personal care formulation, and also how molecular-level simulation can be incorporated into machine learning models when little experimental information is available.
