Algorithms for self-driving labs

Doctor of Philosophy

Department of Department of Computer Science University of Toronto

This dissertation investigates how self-driving laboratories can be improved with the help of machine learning and data management techniques. The first part of the dissertation presents two methods, namely ORGANIZER and RouteScore, that can be implemented in existing self-driving labs. ORGANIZER is a software framework that enables equipment from multiple labs and locations to work seamlessly together, while RouteScore is a tool that quantifies the cost of synthetic routes, where both human and automated platforms can collaborate. The second part of the dissertation focuses on predicting the outcomes of chemical reactions. This would increase the available chemical space of the self-driving labs, making them more versatile. The chemical reaction were predicted using language models and a molecular representation called SMILES.

Aqueous sonochemical synthesis of covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are versatile materials platforms for precise function integration owing to their high crystallinity, large surface areas, tunable characteristics and diverse and predictable structures. However, the dominant solvothermal method for COF synthesis requires harsh conditions, including high temperatures, toxic organic solvents, sealed and pressurized reactors, and extended reaction times that often exceed several days.
