Can we use computers to help accelerate the search for drugs and new materials? What if we could benefit from the enormous speed and efficiency of machine learning models to make this process faster?

I am a scientist applying state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to solve challenging problems in early stage drug discovery. I am interested in how machine learning and computational chemistry can be combined to inform molecular design. My research has been featured in NeurIPS, Nature Machine Intelligence and various high-impact chemistry journals.

Machine learning in chemistry
Together with Aditya Nandy and Nick Yang, I have put together a workshop covering the basic ideas of machine learning, intended for graduate students in chemical sciences. To date, I have presented this workshop at MIT, Ben Gurion University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
You can find a version the slides here. Check out the full GitHub repo, which includes some neat interactive jupyter notebooks!
