I am a PhD student at University College London. I am interested in designing molecular representations that can speed up discovery of new drug designs and discovery of novel materials. I hope that my work is a small step that can improve healthcare worldwide and tackle climate change. I decided to focus my attention on speeding up the discovery of the novel semi-conductors, which I believe can help achieve nearly zero-energy buildings, solar vehicles, portable electronic devices, to name amongst many. In drug discovery, I have been lucky to work on projects with April19 related to the discovery of novel molecules penetrating the central nervous system. These are useful in enhancing the brain’s neuroplasticity with applicability to mental health treatment.
I have over 10 years of experience in tech, academia and the financial industry. I led the Data Science team in fintech startup Fractal Labs (Tomato Pay). Before switching to Tech, I spent 7 years by full-time research, including holding visitor research positions at Columbia University, Oxford-Man Institute and University College London working on quantitative finance research with Pat Hagan. Early in my career, I spent five years working for Belgium financial group KBC and as a consultant for PwC.
I believe in peace, human rights, improving the lives of all beings and protecting our ecosystems.
