Summary
Edward Blurock is a CEO and software developer with three decades of expertise in chemical kinetics, specializing in symbolic and numerical modeling of hydrocarbon combustion. He builds scalable, interoperable chemical data systems—most notably ChemConnect, a cloud-based NoSQL RDF-backed platform that links kinetic and thermodynamic knowledge through ontologies for searchable, machine-friendly networks. His work sits at the intersection of AI, expert systems and physical chemistry, having developed automatic reaction-generation tools (REACTION) and applied fuzzy logic and machine learning to mechanism analysis. As a former associate professor and current lecturer, he translates deep multidisciplinary research into practical teaching and industry-facing products. Unusually, he combines hands-on software engineering with proposal and EU infrastructure experience, driving an open-data research initiative aimed at reshaping how combustion and atmospheric communities access curated chemical data.
