Our project aims to improve how AI models learn from human feedback. Current methods assume human preferences can be reduced to a single “reward” value, but research shows this isn’t always true. We will investigate if an AI algorithm can learn from human preferences without relying on rewards. If possible, we’ll design and test algorithms […]

Chemical reactions are traditionally run as single batches in glasswear such as vials or round-bottom flasks. Conversely, flow chemistry is a discipline in which reactions are run in a continuously flowing stream. Flow chemistry offers several advantages over batch chemistry, such as improved mass transfer, increased efficiency, reduced waste, improved scalability, and greater control over […]

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) will be urgently required to decarbonize the aviation sector and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Different production pathways are already well identified, but the technical and economic challenges and impacts of deploying these pathways are still poorly understood. This project aims at exploring different SAF pathways (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids […]
