Machine Learning Network at NCBJ

Catalysis+ is an interdisciplinary research network initiated by scientists Dr. Amil Aligayev and Dr. Javier Dominguez at NOMATEN CoE in the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ), dedicated to advancing the science and application of catalysis. Our mission is to accelerate breakthroughs in catalysis by building a dynamic, collaborative network that bridges fundamental research and practical application. We aim to unite researchers across disciplines and institutions to address key scientific and technological challenges in catalysis, promote sustainable solutions, and foster the next generation of experts through shared knowledge, resources, and innovation. The network serves as a platform for joint projects, knowledge exchange, and innovation in energy, materials, and environmental applications.
