    I’m a bioengineer / computer scientist who’s worked on problems at the intersection of machine learning and biology. For the past several years, I’ve been working on re-envisioning the computational protein design toolkit with AI. Some highlights are the first crystal structures of AI-designed proteins and diffusion models for protein structure generation.
