Dylan is a first-year Chemistry PhD student funded by the AIChemy Hub for AI in Chemistry and co-supervised by Prof. Kim Jelfs, Dr. Alex Ganose, and Dr. Eleonora Giunchiglia. His research focuses on neurosymbolic AI as a means of embedding prior chemistry knowledge into generative models for materials discovery, with the aim of improving the synthetic accessibility of generated structures. He holds a first-class MChem from the University of Oxford, where his Masters research, supervised by Prof. Fernanda Duarte, centred on the computational design of serine beta-lactamase inhibitors to combat antimicrobial resistance.
