Little known fact: we discovered the AAP photoswitches computationally *before* synthesis. Here's a new paper with @iamalphalee and @Ryan__Rhys on machine learning applied to #photoswitch discovery.

Data-driven discovery of molecular photoswitches with multioutput Gaussian processes

Photoswitchable molecules display two or more isomeric forms that may be accessed using light. Separating the electronic absorption bands of these isomers is key to selectively addressing a specific isomer and achieving high photostationary states whilst overall red-shifting the absorption bands serves to limit mat
