My recent efforts have focused on problems in drug discovery including molecular design, reaction condition design, and chemical synthesis design. I also consult for Pfizer R&D on problems in molecular design and optimization. My recent contributions to their group were covered here here
.In May 2019 I completed a master's degree in computer science at Princeton University where I worked on problems in computational neuroscience with Jonathan Pillow and Ryan Adams. Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in computer science at Johns Hopkins University, where I worked with Alexis Battle on computational genomics.
