Beyond AI: The importance of physics-based simulations in next generation food design

MAY 9, 2024

Beyond AI: The importance of physics-based simulations in next generation food design

Schrödinger will be presenting in a live webinar on Beyond AI: The importance of physics-based simulations in next generation food design. This virtual event will be hosted by IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) on May 9th and features Dr. Jeffrey Sanders, product manager at Schrödinger.

Attend this webinar and learn:

  • How to leverage data from physics-based simulations and machine learning to accelerate food R&D
  • Practical examples and case studies that impact food product development
  • To explore key areas in your R&D where physics-based simulation and machine learning can provide value

Dr. Jeffrey Sanders

Product Manager

Jeff Sanders received his B.S. in applied physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and then his Ph.D. in biophysics and molecular pharmacology from Thomas Jefferson Medical College. Since joining Schrödinger in 2013, he has served several roles and is currently the product manager and scientific lead for the consumer packaged goods applications group. Additionally, he is a managing board member of the Food Engineering, Expansion, and Development (FEED) institute and holds an adjunct position in the department of food science at University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Overview

With the rise in utility and access to artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in everyday life, the food industry is searching for practical use cases to leverage its power. While some claim AI will render traditional research and development in the food industry obsolete, the paradigm shift has yet to come to fruition. In order for a digital transformation of such scale to occur, data will become the key driver.

In food science, data collection is often sparse, or is collected at the macroscopic scale with little insight to the underlying physical and chemical driving forces. Unlike AI (also called machine learning), physics-based simulation is able to generate data based on realistic computational models of food products, processing, and packaging materials. The data generated is interpretable, allowing researchers and engineers to make informed decisions before embarking on costly experimental testing. By leveraging data generated from physics-based simulations at the molecular level combined with existing experimental data where available, machine learning models can then be generated overcoming the data sparsity issue often encountered. More importantly, physics-based simulations can help researchers develop models that are both interpretable and testable.

In this talk, we will explore how physics-based simulations are used in food research and the synergy that can be achieved when they are combined with machine learning models.

Abstract

Computational chemistry is ubiquitous in academic research in chemistry, materials science, and engineering. Applied molecular modeling can drive or supplement a research project – accelerating discovery processes, minimizing the need for extensive experimental testing, and providing atomic scale insights.

In this webinar, we explore Schrödinger’s leading physics-based and machine learning computational technologies and provide a comprehensive introduction to the capabilities of computational modeling in chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

We will discuss workflows and applications for polymeric materials, electronics, aerospace, renewable energy, catalysis, and formulations.

  • Molecular and periodic quantum mechanics (DFT) for property prediction and reaction mechanism elucidation
  • Accelerated polymer modeling with all-atom molecular dynamics
  • Coarse-grained methods to explore larger systems and longer timescales
  • Advanced machine learning models for new material discovery
  • Educational and training resources, such as Schrödinger’s seven online materials science certification courses

Following the webinar, the speaker will also be available to answer questions. Whether you are a student, an early career researcher, or an established expert seeking to expand your field of knowledge, this webinar promises to be a valuable resource for all levels of expertise interested in staying at the forefront of computational modeling in materials science.
