About me

I’m co-founder and Chief Scientist at Simulacra AI, a research-driven startup where we build AI models that simulate molecular interactions (quantum chemistry) at the quantum level to accelerate drug discovery and materials science innovation.

I have a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chicago. I worked with Professor Rebecca Willett on machine learning for scientific applications. My research spans generative models for quantum simulations, emulators for chaotic dynamical systems, and advanced weather forecasting methods. I’ve also worked on tensor network approaches for neural network compression and generative adversarial networks for high-energy physics applications, specifically particle simulation in calorimeters.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and a Master’s in Mathematics and Computer Science.
