Evan Guerra wants to make scents of the data

PhD student Evan Guerra is trying to find a way, turning unstructured smell descriptions based on free-text human responses into structured text computers can understand. He is also working to predict the smell of molecules from their structure. Both projects are key tasks on the way to enable computer understanding of smell.
