On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Dr. Jesus Rios from the Department of Physics presented the second lecture of the STEM Speaker Series at the University Libraries.
Dr. Rios first discussed how he and his research team used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict molecular properties of diatomic molecules. They found that the results were impressive. Then, they went to the next complex level and used AI to predict atom-diatom reactions. Again, they obtained very satisfactory results. They concluded that it is possible to use AI to predict molecular properties of diatomic molecules, as well as atom-diatom reactions.
The inspiring lecture attracted students and faculty to attend. Dr. Rios answered interesting questions after the lecture.
Note: A diatomic molecule is a chemical compound that contains only two atoms with either the same element or different elements.
