EXTENDED ABSTRACT: This talk will provide an overview of the three main approaches used within the group to aid the discovery of new materials (i) high-throughput virtual screening (ii) machine learning and (iii) bottom up construction of physical models. The relation between the tree approaches will be discussed including a methodology for selecting the best strategy given time and budget constraints. The examples cover a number of areas related to organic electronics including charge transport in molecular and polymeric materials, singlet fission, temperature activated delayed fluorescence, organic photovoltaics, emissive materials.
Keywords: organic electronics; high-throughput virtual screening; machine learning
