I’m a bioengineer / computer scientist working on AI for science.

For the past ~decade, I’ve been working on generative AI for protein design. Some highlights are publishing the first results in the field and getting the first experimental validation of AI-designed proteins.

A major highlight has been pioneering diffusion models for protein structure generation, which has unlocked unprecedented computational protein design capabilities.

I'm now founder of Diffuse Bio, where we're building generative AI systems for protein design and new experimental methods for large-scale data generation. Our goal is to make designing a protein (therapeutic, diagnostic, enzyme, molecular machine, etc) as simple as pushing a button on a computer. Featured in the NYT.
