Your Role

In the rapidly advancing field of material science accurately predicting the early lifetime and structural stability of catalysts is crucial for applications in energy storage sensors and catalysis. Traditional methods of evaluating catalyst stability are often timeconsuming and costly. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) which can model complex relationships between atoms in a material offer a groundbreaking approach to predict these properties effectively. At Dunia we are pioneering the integration of GNNs with material informatics to accelerate the discovery and optimization of catalysts with enhanced stability and performance. This internship presents a unique opportunity to contribute to cuttingedge research focused on predicting the early lifetime and stability of catalyst structures utilizing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.

Our company

Dunia is at the forefront of the race to create a sustainable future for our planet. With a mission to invent breakthrough clean energy materials we use the latest AI tools and chemical robots combined with our scientific expertise to build a selfdriving laboratory that can discover new active materials faster than ever before. Targeting the toughest industry sectors such as shipping and aviation we are developing sustainable processes to reduce CO2 emissions by over 2.1 billion tons per year. We named our company Dunia because it means world in over 20 languages. We want to both positively impact the world AND create an inclusive environment where the worlds brightest come together to solve humanitys biggest challenges.
