Experience

Research Scientist (part-time)

MoleculeAI
Jun 2023 - Present · 3 years 4 months

I work on development of AI/ML models for molecular property (e.g. ADMET) predictions, and de-novo drug design. Specifically, I have experience with graph neural networks and diffusion models. I also use/develop enhanced sampling molecular dynamics methods for computational data generation, protein structure/dynamics analysis, protein-drug interaction analysis and free-energy calculations.
