Python for Chemists Webinar

Programming in Python empowers chemists to apply their domain knowledge to scales unreachable by manual effort. Learning Python is easy, but contextualizing chemical problems in Python is not always obvious.

Python for Chemists is a new digital primer in the ACS In Focus series designed to introduce chemists to computing with Python. It explains basic Python coding, data analysis techniques, and basic concepts in machine learning. The book places a heavy emphasis on application, helping readers begin using Python on their own datasets.

In this webinar, Kiyoto Aramis Tanemura and Diego Sierra-Costa, authors of Python for Chemists alongside Kenneth Merz, Jr., will be presenting an example use case, practical advice on getting started, and other helpful excerpts from their new digital primer.

Who you'll hear from:

Kiyoto Aramis Tanemura

Michigan State University

Kiyoto Aramis Tanemura is a Ph.D. student working in the research group of Prof. Kenneth M. Merz in the Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University. At the interface of computational chemistry and artificial intelligence, his research aims to develop methodologies to predict spectral properties of small organic molecules for high throughput identification. He completed his B.A. at Kalamazoo College in Chemistry and Mathematics, with concentrations in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Biology as well as Biological Physics. He uses Python every day in all aspects of his research.

Diego Sierra-Costa

Michigan State University

Diego Sierra-Costa is a doctoral candidate at the Department of Chemistry at Michigan State University under the supervision of Prof. Kenneth M. Merz. His research in mathematical artificial intelligence and chemistry focuses on developing new representations of small molecules for the prediction and calculation of physicochemical properties. Diego received his B.Sc. in Physics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico where he focused on quantum optics and cold atoms.
