Meet Jose Regio, a PhD student in the lab of @gabegomes.bsky.social at @cmuchemistry.bsky.social.

Have a question for Jose? Let us know in the replies.

Photo of Jose smiling and holding two thumbs up. Text reads "Meet Jose Regio, PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University." CMU and C-CAS logos are also displayed. Photo of Jose presenting a research poster. Text reads "Jose’s research focuses on designing visual interfaces for researchers in chemistry. His aim is to improve the usability of scientific tools and to make data easier to explore. By removing the barrier of extensive programming experience, this work gives experimental chemists access to computational tools and insights from big datasets." Photo of Jose in front of a M. Pimatubo Crater Lake. Text reads "Jose was born in the Philippines and grew up in Connecticut. Outside of the lab, Jose is a volunteer at the Latino Community Center in Pittsburgh where he helps with math lessons and fostering teamwork for elementary schoolers. In his free time he likes to learn Tagalog, Spanish, and Mandarin."

CMU researchers are pushing the boundaries of AI in science. Gabe Gomes and his team developed Coscientist, an AI system that plans and executes chemical reactions — accelerating discoveries that once took years to complete. His work was featured in Nature.

Will AI ever win its own Nobel? Some predict a prize-worthy science discovery soon
Other researchers question whether autonomous AI scientists are possible or even desirable.

not a gotcha/rhetorical question: where/what sector do you think the most interesting science is being done today, broadly speaking? i’m trying to understand something.

new preprint, tl;dr:
• LLMs match or exceed SOTA strategies on chemical reaction optimizations.
• we built the Iron Mind platform and we hope that it can serve as a new benchmark for both reaction optimizers and foundation models.

stuff is all weird, but at least Deafheaven delivered a masterpiece with their latest album “Lonely People With Power”. definitely not everyone’s cup of tea (tw: heavy metal, harsh vocals), but it’s beautiful: youtu.be/XN7o7l5eehk?...

@narayanlab.bsky.social and @gabegomes.bsky.social designed Catnip--so named because it's "for the biocats"--to make it easier for newbs to use enzymatic reactions in organic synthesis. I had the privilege of hearing them talk about it at #ACSSpring2025 earlier this week!

Despite being trained primarily on monophosphine ligands in Pd(0)/Pd(II) cycles, it demonstrates good transferability to diverse palladium complexes, including bidentate phosphines and dinuclear Pd(I) complexes. The speed of AIMNet2-Pd makes computational high-throughput catalyst screening feasible

The model can characterize entire catalytic cycles including geometry optimization, transition state searches, and energy calculations for each step of a catalytic process (oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination etc).

AIMNet2-Pd enables rapid computational studies of Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions by replacing computationally expensive QM calculations with a neural network while maintaining high accuracy (within 1-2 kcal mol⁻¹ and ~0.1 Å compared to reference quantum mechanics calculations).
