Dr. Rajan is a pioneer in the field of Materials Informatics, integrating artificial intelligence, data science, and materials engineering to accelerate the discovery of new materials. His research advances a holistic approach to materials design—one that integrates technical performance with environmental and human health considerations from the outset. By uncovering the molecular mechanisms that underlie toxicity and combining them with predictive modeling, Dr. Rajan’s work enables the development of ‘smarter chemistries’—materials that are not only high-performing but also safe and sustainable.
