Hello! I'm Eduardo Aguilar-Bejarano, a PhD researcher at the University of Nottingham specialising in Chemistry and Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate about leveraging machine learning — especially Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) — to solve complex problems in chemistry and materials science.
My academic journey began at the Universidad de Costa Rica, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry with Honors (GPA 9.23/10). I then joined the AI Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Nottingham to pursue my PhD in Chemistry.
My research focuses on GNNs for catalyst optimisation, materials property prediction, and the development of explainable AI tools for chemical systems. I work alongside Prof. Simon Woodward, Prof. Ender Özcan, and Dr. Grazziela Figueredo.
Outside of research, I enjoy exploring new AI technologies, hiking, and reading about the latest advances in cheminformatics. Feel free to connect on LinkedIn!
