The thesis presents AI frameworks that accelerate crystalline materials discovery by tackling both crystal property prediction and crystal structure generation. It introduces CrysXPP, CrysGNN, and CrysMMNet for efficient, data‑sparse property prediction using graph autoencoding, self‑supervised pretraining, and multimodal learning. For generation, TGDMat is a text‑guided diffusion model that jointly learns lattice parameters, atomic types, and coordinates, enabling valid, stable, and conditionally generated periodic materials.

Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming materials design by enabling de novo exploration of immense chemical spaces. Yet a large proportion of AI-generated compositions remain implausible, violating established chemical principles, which limits the reliability and interpretability of generative materials design.

arXiv:2605. 17254v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Property prediction and inverse structural design of catalytic materials are typically modeled as two independent tasks: the former predicts target properties from given structures, whereas the latter generates candidate structures according to desired properties.

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.

The article discusses how the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is transforming chemical engineering by influencing problem formulation, analysis, and solution across a wide range of applications, from atomic-scale simulations to industrial operations. It highlights recent methodological advances and representative uses, noting a shift from purely black-box models to hybrid and physics-informed frameworks that incorporate conservation laws, thermodynamic consistency, and structural constraints. These integrated approaches enhance robustness, reliability, and human-AI collaboration, ultimately amplifying rather than replacing core chemical engineering principles.
