The Ferris Group has received a two-year SEAS Innovation grant, sponsored by Helen Shipley Hunt, to pursue a collaborative research project entitled, “Toward accelerated sustainable aviation fuel design: A data-driven framework for fuel design and discovery.” In collaboration with Prof. Christine Allen-Blanchette’s research group (MAE), this work will investigate the use of neural networks to more efficiently and accurately predict the chemical/physical properties of emerging aviation fuels, and accelerate the design of next-generation fuels.
