The Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet Fund

Your gift makes a difference

By combining cutting-edge chemistry with artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and autonomous labs, the Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet (BIDMaP) is reimagining how materials can be designed and optimized for clean energy, clean air, clean water, and sustainable chemical production. BIDMaP's mission is to transform the way we tackle environmental and energy problems.

BIDMaP supports cutting-edge research that:

  • Speeds up materials discovery at unprecedented rates, including catalysts that capture and convert carbon dioxide into fuels and sustainable plastics and engineering materials that extract water from the atmosphere

  • Spans a diverse portfolio of materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs)

  • Advances catalysis, electronic materials, and novel synthesis methodologies to enable next-generation solutions in carbon management and sustainable manufacturing

Whether it’s harnessing AI and machine learning to develop new materials for clean air, water, and energy or building autonomous robotic labs to accelerate new discoveries, your gift will empower BIDMaP to chart a bold new course for the planet. Thank you!
