This site is the page of YAMAMOTO Hiroshi, CEO of pirika.com LLC.
Pirika’s home page was started on January 5, 1999.
I was working on the molecular design and reverse design of CFC alternatives at a national laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan.
Pirika means “beautiful, cute” in the language of the Ainu, the native people of Hokkaido, Japan. Pilika Menoko means “cute girl”. It’s been 20 years since I started to create a Pilika site that does “chemistry on the web and in the browser”.
What do I want to do with pirika.com?
I want to use digital technology to transform chemistry in a richer way.
I don’t want to deuterate (Xylene) to d-Xylene.
What is DX at Pirika.com?
Use Information Technology to enrich your understanding of chemistry.
What are the key differentiators of Pirika.com?
For over 20 years, I have been integrating chemistry, chemical engineering, and computational chemistry using information chemistry. I have covered everything from corporate patent analysis to academic teaching.
I have created my own tools for various analyses, including neural network methods.
I am proud to say that I am the only one who has a method to estimate intermolecular forces from both Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) and ASOG method for activity coefficient estimation.
These can be used to enrich the interpretation of chemistry.
What issues does pirika.com consider?
I believe that the most important issue is to train people who can build their own chemical AI-assistants.
The time when strong AI can solve all chemistry problems and human chemists are not needed will not come for a long time.
AI-assistants will provide assistance according to their own chemistry ability. If your chemical ability is zero, it will only be zero even if AI assist up to 1.5 times.
What is the human resource development at Pirika.com?
There are a lot of pages on pirika.com and a lot of visitors are learning every day. However, some people say that the content is too difficult.
So I am thinking of starting up a workshop or seminar. This is free of charge for academics and students, but corporate researchers are asked to pay a modest fee.
