BIO
I'm the co-founder of Ångström AI which substitutes wet lab experiments with physically accurate GenAI molecular simulations for clients in Pharma and BioTech. Before founding Ångström AI, I was a research engineer at InstaDeep (acquired by BioNTech 2023), and pursued a PhD at the University of Cambridge in generative AI models for molecular systems. I love coding and surfing, reach out if you are in the Bay Area and want to catch some waves.
