HIGHLIGHTS OF SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS

	Prof. Bartosz Grzybowski is one of the global pioneers of computational synthesis planning and applications of chemical AI in the discovery of new functional molecules and materials. He has also made fundamental contributions to the theory of chemical reaction networks, dynamic/non-equilibrium self-assembly, nanoscience, and surface phenomena. He and his team published over 300 articles including 18 in Nature and Science, world's most prestigious academic journals; according to Google Scholar these works have been cited over 40,315 times. For his achievements, Grzybowski has been awarded multiple awards including the Nanoscience Prize ('13), on this Feynman Prize ('16), and on this FNP Award ('22), and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2015. Prof. Grzybowski serves as a Scientific Advisory Board member to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the Hague and is on the advisory boards of several academic journals. In 2019, he was invited to lecture at the on this Solvay Conference, one of the world's premier venues for physics and chemistry, and in 2023 gave a plenary lecture at the IUPAC World Congress on Chemistry. CARS, the IBS Center for Algorithmic and Robotized Synthesis, led by Director Grzybowski, aims to revolutionize and accelerate molecular-scale synthesis with the help of AI algorithms and chemical robotics.
