Freelance Computational Chemist/Biologist & Bioinformatician | PhD @ UCL, MS @ Johns Hopkins, BS @ UCLA

Profile Summary

I am a computational biologist and chemist with a PhD in Structural and Molecular Biology, specializing in applying machine learning, bioinformatics, and molecular modeling to accelerate drug discovery and understand complex biological systems in relation to disease. My passion lies in solving challenging problems in protein engineering, drug development, and genomic data analysis, with the goal of creating impactful therapies for patients.

With hands-on experience in bioinformatics pipeline development, high-performance computing, and molecular dynamics simulations, I’ve led projects that have resulted in significant advancements, such as a 54% reduction in computational costs through an AI-driven drug discovery platform. My technical expertise spans Python, R, MySQL, and tools like RDKit, Rosetta, and AlphaFold, alongside a strong foundation in developing reproducible workflows for large-scale data analysis. These experiences have honed my ability to bridge the gap between computational science and translational applications.

I am interested in computational roles to contribute to therapeutic innovation and disease mechanism elucidation, as well as scientific communication opportunities.
