LUC PATINY
With a background in organic chemistry and structural analysis I'm Interested in javascript and chemical information for over 15 years and I'm strongly involved in the development of open-source tools accessible directly from the web browser. The modular approach that was implemented allows to solve large diversity of problems like: - cell image analysis - wikipedia structure explorer (http://www.cheminfo.org/wikipedia) - NMR spectra prediction (https://www.nmrdb.org) - NMR spectra assignment (https://www.nmrium.org) - molecular formula and isotopic distribution (https://www.chemcalc.org) - complex mass spectra analysis (https://www.polycalc.org) - counterfeit analysis based on spectra or images - ... The same tools used in production and research are also applicable for teaching from the undergraduate level to the doctoral level. All those developments yielded to numerous publications: https://scholar.google.ch/citations?user=FaGwMp4AAAAJ&hl=en
