The Jackson Lab understands and designs electronic processes in soft materials, with a strong emphasis on method developments that enable accelerated electronic predictions in disordered systems. Recent research efforts have included:

• Modeling electron and ion transport in conjugated polyelectrolytes for bioelectronic applications.
• Creating generative AI models for synthetically-accessible polymer design.
• Accelerating predictions of bond rupture-induced failure in polymer networks.
• Designing deep learning algorithms that extract essential molecular degrees of freedom for electronic structure predictions.
• Simulating molecular doping in organic semiconductors with reactive molecular modeling methods.
• Developing methods that bypass backmapping in multiscale workflows.
• Working to make a Martini model for electronic structure predictions.
• AI-guided closed-loop optimization and knowledge extraction for experimental campaigns.
• Identifying new sourcing and reaction pathways for organic materials design.
