“Chemistry has always been advanced by the dialog between data and theory. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, simulation, and laboratory automation are new languages for connecting experiment, theory, and computation.”

Joshua Schrier is a physical chemist interested in computational methods to accelerate the discovery of new materials by using a combination of physics-based simulations, cheminformatics, machine learning, and automated experimentation. He is the Kim B. and Stephen E. Bepler Professor of Chemistry at Fordham University in New York City. Prior to joining Fordham in 2018, he was an associate professor at Haverford College, and a Luis W. Alvarez computational sciences postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. As a faculty member, he has received awards including the Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, U.S. Department of Energy Visiting Faculty, and Fulbright scholar awards.
