    Abstract: Generative AI is rapidly transforming how we approach discovery, design, and decision-making in chemistry. From literature review and molecular synthesis to experiment planning and regulatory assessments, these tools create new opportunities for consultants and clients to work more efficiently and strategically. Yet, the complexity of chemistry, and the need for reliable, domain-aware solutions, makes it crucial to separate hype from practical value. In this talk, I will provide an overview of how generative AI is being applied in chemical R&D, highlighting both current capabilities and emerging trends.

    Biography: Fan Li, Ph.D., is the founder of Apex 974 LLC, a consultancy specializing in AI and digital solutions for chemical R&D. He has over 15 years of experience in bridging research and technology, including serving as the first Data Scientist in DuPont’s Central R&D organization. Trained as a chemist (Ph.D., University of Minnesota) and computer scientist (M.S., University of Delaware), Fan connects chemistry and materials science with AI, data engineering, and knowledge management. Passionate about empowering R&D teams, he has designed and implemented enterprise-grade AI and digital solutions that support thousands of researchers worldwide.
