New Iridium founder and CEO, Dr. Chern-Hooi Lim, was interviewed by Dr. Paolo Braiuca, Director of Global Market Development, Thermo Fisher Scientific for his Bringing Chemistry to Life Podcast Series. Excerpt from the episode abstract : "This is a fascinating discussion about the present and future of chemistry. We discover how photocatalysis enables a new paradigm...This is also a story of smart ideas and bold choices and a new perspective on the role entrepreneurship can p

Over the past decade, the use of photocatalysts (PCs) in controlled polymerization has brought new opportunities in sophisticated macromolecular synthesis. However, the selection of PCs in these systems has been typically based on laborious trial-and-error strategies. To tackle this limitation, computer-guided rational design of PCs based on knowledge of structure-property-performance relationships has emerged. These rational strategies provide rapid and economic methodologie
