About
I am a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge interested in applications at the interface between cheminformatics and statistical learning. Prior to joining MSR, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Gisbert Schneider’s molecular design laboratory at ETH Zurich while funded by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma, where I became interested in explainable artificial intelligence methods in the context of drug design and chemical property prediction. I obtained my PhD in 2019 at Gianni de Fabritiis’ biophysics laboratory at Pompeu Fabra University, the main topic of my dissertation including pioneering applications of convolutional neural networks to three-dimensional atomistic systems.
Project details
At MSR I am focusing on expanding our understanding of explainable artificial intelligence models in drug discovery as well as their applicability in real-life scenarios. Other research areas that I am interested in are quantum machine learning and structural biology.
About me
My hobbies include beach volleyball, guitar playing and hiking.
