5th Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering Conference

Hosted by the University of Cambridge
 
27-28th June 2022
 

Event booklet available!

Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering Conference series is co-organised by research groups of the Universities of Cambridge, Leeds, Glasgow, Southampton, and University College London. This series of conferences grew from two collaborative research projects on robotics and automation in chemical development. The conference will feature keynote and invited lectures from global champions of research in ML/AI in chemistry/(bio)chemical engineering, and regular lectures selected from the community submissions.

 

The 2022 edition of the conference will be run as a hybrid event. The in-person attendance will be limited to 85 participants. The online event is unlimited; recordings of the sessions will be made available to the registered participants. A specific online poster and networking session will be run for the virtual participants.

Abstract Submissions

Abstract Submission

The 5th International Conference on Machine Learning and AI in (bio)Chemical Engineering will take place on June 27-28, 2022 in Cambridge as a hybrid event. We are requesting abstracts for posters and talks related to this theme. Potential topics/submissions include but are not limited to:

​

  • Software implementations of key methods

  • Experimental case studies using ML

  • Method development, particularly those that simplify user experience

  • Benchmarking of ML methods

 

Abstracts may be up to 400 words and optionally include explanatory figures. We emphasise that abstracts should include sufficient introduction for newcomers.
