PhD Student

University of Cambridge, UK

I’m a final year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science, University of Cambridge, supervised by Prof. Pietro Liò. I’ve previously interned at Prescient Design, Genentech and at FAIR Chemistry, Meta AI, and been a visitor at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr. Phillip Holliger. My research is supported by the A*STAR National Science Scholarship and the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship.

My research explores the intersection of:

  1. Deep learning for molecular modelling: Modelling 3D molecular structure, from theoretical foundations to foundation models, including the Hitchhiker’s Guide to Geometric GNNs and All-atom Diffusion Transformers.
  2. Applications to RNA design: Building gRNAde, our Generative AI-based RNA Design toolkit, which we are experimentally validating in the wet lab.
