Information processing in soft materials.

WG2 · Aim

Information processing in soft materials

Build the chemical capability for local information processing and decision-making. Reaction networks show behaviour from bistability and oscillation to history-dependent decisions; kinetic modelling and automated platforms help embed them in materials that pattern, remember and choose.

organic and inorganic CRNs · biochemical networks · formose reactions · microfluidic channels · CSTRs · batch reactors

Tasks

  • T2.1 Bring together systems chemistry, mathematical modelling, microfluidics and laboratory automation
  • T2.2 Train participants on microfluidics, CRN design and mathematical modelling

WG leader: elected at the kick-off meeting on 1 November 2026.
