Researcher

Johannes Margraf

Margraf holds a chair at Bayreuth and studies machine learning for reaction networks and molecular and material properties. The chair is named Physical Chemistry V: Theory and Machine Learning. The lab develops models that use physical structure to reduce the amount of training data required. It cites size extensivity and long-range interactions as properties that can be built into a model. The group also studies wavefunction and density-functional methods and their combination with learning. Its goal is accurate chemical simulation across larger systems and searches for functional molecules.
