22MI RESEARCH

Reconstructing the microscopic world computationally.

22MI develops physics-grounded methods and software for molecular discovery, reactive systems, spectroscopy and scientific reasoning — from incomplete observations to testable microscopic models.

Virtual reconstructionInfer and reconstruct microscopic states when structure, environment or observations are incomplete.
Computational R&DDevelop and test models for molecular, chemical and materials questions with direct control of the computational workflow.
Scientific systems & interfacesBuild software, data workflows and research interfaces that make methods inspectable, testable, reusable and traceable from a result back to its source data and processing history.
WHAT MAKES 22MI DIFFERENT

Scientific models should remain accountable to what is known, what is inferred, and what can be measured.

Physics-grounded reconstructionWork from observations and physical constraints rather than assuming that the complete microscopic state is already known.
Uncertainty-aware inferenceUnknown structure, sparse data and model disagreement remain explicit parts of the result rather than hidden error.
Experiment ↔ simulationConnect models to measurable observables, experimental conditions and validation loops so predictions can be challenged by evidence.
SELECTED WORK & APPLICATION AREAS

Evidence before abstraction.

Four directions connect reactive chemistry, composition-first prediction, high-precision predictive theory and the scientific software needed to make each result inspectable and reusable.

Reaction dynamics · Reaction networks · Transient states

Reaction Pathway Intelligence

Discover the microscopic states and connections that shape complex reactive systems. Use finite-temperature atomistic dynamics to extend reaction-network exploration beyond a predefined set of intermediates and elementary processes, revealing transient states, competing pathways and condition-dependent kinetics.

Research direction →
Composition · Uncertainty · Complex mixtures

Composition-First Predictive Modelling

Predict thermodynamic and functional properties from composition before a unique microscopic structure is available, with explicit uncertainty for composition-defined systems, mixtures and formulations.

Research direction →
High-precision theory · Spectroscopy · Experiment design

Predictive Theory for Precision Experiments

Use high-accuracy theory to predict experimentally accessible states, transitions and signals, then test and refine those predictions against precision measurements.

Research direction →
Databases · Provenance · Research software

Scientific Software, Data & Research Interfaces

Build scientific databases, reproducible workflows and interfaces in which a result can retain its lineage — source records, calculation and processing steps, parameters, software or model versions, uncertainty and validation evidence.

HOW WE WORK

From evidence to models, and back to evidence.

22MI combines fundamental research with hands-on computational development. The aim is not only to obtain an answer, but to expose assumptions, uncertainty and the evidence that can validate or reject it.

01 / RESEARCH

Independent research & joint projects

Work on fundamental questions and industry-relevant challenges with scientific rigor and direct access to the modelling stack.

02 / R&D

Technical assessment & model development

Advanced modelling, simulation, uncertainty analysis and computational support for R&D and scientific decision-making.

03 / SYSTEMS

Tools, interfaces & research systems

Research software, databases and interfaces designed so that data lineage, model assumptions, uncertainty and validation remain inspectable instead of being detached from the final output.

COLLABORATE

Let’s talk about the problems current tools can’t solve.

Research collaborations, computational R&D, technical assessment, scientific software and early conversations around molecular and materials technologies are welcome.

Please keep the first message non-confidential. If a discussion develops into a project that requires protected information, an appropriate secure channel and confidentiality arrangement can be established separately.
