   The interests of Hugh Cartwright's research group are broad, covering the
   application of Artificial Intelligence methods to problems across a range of
   scientific areas. Techniques such as Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms,
   Data Mining and Cellular Automata have been used to study the movement of
   airborne pollution, the degradation of buried archaeological artefacts, the
   design of optimal synthetic routes in organic chemistry, the growth of
   bacterial colonies in studies of bioremediation, prediction of the
   intestinal absorption of AIDS drugs, optimisation of production timing in
   the chemical process industry, automatic control of industrial synthesis,
   the design of novel consumer fabric materials, minimisation of chemical
   waste generation during industry processes, and other areas. In addition,
   there is a continuing research program in co-operation with pharmaceutical
   companies on the use of AI in proteomics and, more broadly, in the field of
   bioinformatics in general.
