About me
PhD researcher with experience in AI for chemical sciences. I have worked on diverse projects—from low-complexity ML applied to homogeneous catalysis, to building models and systems from scratch for molecular chemistry, spectroscopy, and materials science.
Additionally, I have experience with molecular simulations and data management from roles at Software for Chemistry and Materials and Stability AI.
