💀I wanna pursue a PhD course in the field of organic chemistry...💀 how would my interest in codes help? 😮

Question

how would programming/Coding/developing databases help me to progress in my field or prove to be an advantage?
<!-- PS: any advice is welcome from chemists at SL as well 😜 -->

Answer 1

Organic chemistry has lot of applications in daily life like drug development , diagnosis , petrochemicals , polymers etc. In future technology is gonna dominate n all fields and testing application everything is gonna to be virtual. So If ur good n Algorithms n databases it will surely help you. For example you can creat an Algorithm to test research observations from a huge chemical Db.

Answer 2

You can create a database for storing your research daily logs, the progress, the failure, the cause of failure etc. At the very least you'd be using less paper for logs, go green mate :)

Answer 3

I'm not a chemist, but I assume that a lot of data and math is involved in all of it, which computers/programs are great at dealing with data and math. I can't give you a chemist example since I'm not a chemist, but programming is useful to most sciences.

Answer 4

yup. I know that part. thanks anyways @Netkos

Answer 5

I'll try my hands at algs and logic at some time Rozes. thanks for the hint :)

Answer 6

Hey! If you want to dirt your hand with codes staying in organic chemistry, you can. There is new project on AI. Drug discovery in artificial intelligence.
