Siddharth Deshpande's research uses computational chemistry and machine learning to understand and design catalysts for energy-related chemical reactions, such as converting biomass-derived molecules into fuels and chemicals, and improving batteries and electrochemical energy conversion. Much of the work combines first-principles simulations (quantum mechanical calculations of atomic-scale processes) with data-driven algorithms to predict catalyst structure and performance under realistic reaction conditions.
