Computational chemistry · molecular discovery
Anoop Ayyappan · Professor and computational chemist
The research programme I guide at AnoopLab combines automated chemical exploration with scientific machine learning for molecular discovery. I also write about teaching, universities and academic life.
My research asks how computational chemistry can explore molecular structures and reactions more systematically, and how machine learning can help without obscuring chemical reasoning. The collective programme at AnoopLab has two connected directions: automated chemical exploration and scientific machine learning.
A separate strand of my work concerns teaching, research culture, university governance and the institutional conditions under which knowledge is produced.
This site holds my perspective and writing. Group research, software and official records each have their own place.
Group research, collaborations, publications, software and people.
Source code, datasets, technical documentation and active development.
The official institutional record of my position and current university responsibilities.
Notes and essays on computational chemistry, scientific machine learning, research practice, education and institutions.
A personal history of academic website making—from HTML and Drupal to Hugo, GitHub Pages and AI—and why academics should have a space of their own on the web.
