Chemistry: from the laboratory to the computer. Will AI help us?
Chemical research is no longer only conducted in laboratories. Come and learn how computer simulations and artificial intelligence are changing the way we discover new reactions, catalysts or more sustainable fuels.
The faculty invites you to an interesting lecture dedicated to current trends in chemical research, which will bring closer the use of computational chemistry and artificial intelligence in the investigation of processes at the level of atoms and molecules.
Date: 31. 3. 2026
Time: 18:00 hod.
Place: cafe Leháro, Františkánska ul. 18, Trnava
Lecturer:
- RNDr. Zuzana Bielková, PhD.
- Mgr. Monika Gešvandtnerová, PhD.
Zuzana Bielková works at the Institute of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences of the Faculty of Natural Sciences UCM in Trnava. He is involved in the synthesis of metal compounds and their study with a focus on magnetism, exploring the relationship between molecular structure and material properties.
Monika Gešvandtnerová works at the Department of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry of the Comenius University in Bratislava and at the same time at the Université de Lorraine (CNRS, L2CM) in France. In his research, he deals with computer simulations of chemical reactions in the field of catalysis and investigates reaction mechanisms at the level of individual atoms and molecules.
The lecture will offer an insight into how modern technologies are fundamentally changing the approach to chemical research and will show that the future of chemistry takes place not only in laboratories, but also in virtual space.
