Zhao leads a group of researchers focused on computational catalyst design. This uses quantum mechanics — science that analyzes the behavior of molecules and atoms and their constituents: electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, etc. — and machine learning to understand chemical reactions and design more energy-efficient and reactive catalysts.

SandboxAQ today announced a series of scientific and technical milestone publications, collectively marking a set of significant advances in the company’s core research and product development activities. These achievements unlock new methods for biopharma drug discovery as well as development of new materials and battery chemistry.

Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. , the Industrial Generative AI company, today announced that it has published and will present to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) select research findings — alongside its collaborators Rigetti Computing, University of Southern California, HRL Laboratories and L3Harris — from its participation in Phase II of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking program.
