An extreme example of why the h-index without self-citations is interesting
August 4, 2025 at 7:51 AM
Google Scholar has "released" their h5-index for journals again, and this tells me nothing more than the number of review papers published by a journal. Perhaps, if we normalise the h5-index by the number of papers published in that journal, we might obtain a somewhat valuable indicator... #ChemSky

Lyon, a wonderful city by day and night. Perfect setting for a fruitful TransPharm general assembly meeting, bringing together AI, #GreenChemistry, and ecotox research

In an extremely hot but beautiful Lyon for our annual meeting of the Horizon Europe project TransPharm (Transforming into a sustainable European pharmaceutical sector) where AI, synthesis, and ecotox meet to discover greener pharmaceuticals

That brings my visit to the University of York to an end. It was lovely to see all the great green chemistry research being done here and to meet many new people! For now, looking forward to new adventures #chemsky #GreenChemistry #chemengsky

Visiting the University of York till the end of June. If anyone in the UK likes to chat about AI/ML in chemistry/ChemE, green chemistry, flow chemistry, or show me around their lab; I would love to connect and meet up!

🎓 Proud to share that I successfully defended my PhD in Chemical Engineering at Ghent University yesterday with my dissertation titled "Molecular Machine Learning for Chemical Reaction Engineering"!

🚀 Excited for what’s ahead and to further contribute to #AIforChemistry!

Deepwiki is awesome! It creates a wiki for every GitHub repository by replacing github.com by deepwiki.com. Just tried it out with Rxn-INSIGHT and now there is even more documentation and insight in reactions

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Ghent University and this year we are lucky with a sunny spring day. So a perfect opportunity to appreciate the beauty of our region again.

I am delighted to have won the first prize in the poster presentation at the AI for Chemistry (@aichemyhub.bsky.social) Inaugural Conference at Imperial College London. My poster described three digitalization opportunities in chemical reaction engineering at various scales:

Ready to introduce our students to cheminformatics in the next three hours!

Rxn-INSIGHT also has some functions for molecules, but many more for reactions. Functional groups and rings are handled separately here:

Excited to introduce our chemical engineering and materials science undergraduate students to chemical data science in Python. Up today: refreshing basic Python and NumPy skills plus working with Pandas and Matplotlib

Sun is setting after a relaxing weekend. Now back to reality and thesis writing...

Making the preparations for a white Christmas. But also an inspiring decor for thesis writing 🙃

#GreenChemistry is also about developing more sustainable molecules. Prof Klaus Kümmerer from Leuphana University is here to show his sustainable API alternatives
