Jingdan Chen

Hi, I'm Jingdan Chen (陈 敬丹), a second-year Ph.D. student in the Jackson Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My research focuses on reactivity in polymerization process, serving as a foundational approach to understanding polymer synthesis and degradation, paving the way for virtual screening and de novo design problems.

Motivated by the Ten Problems in Polymer Reactivity Prediction, my Ph.D. research bridges the gap between experimental chemistry, computational chemistry, and machine learning. By building integrated pipelines, I strive to solve complex challenges that no single discipline above could address alone.

Feel free to reach out if you're interested in my work! :-)
