Experience

Bioinformatics Scientist

Arquimea Research Centre

Worked at the interface of the AI and biotech teams on structure-based drug discovery, generative molecular design, and applied machine learning — the link between the computational tools and the biology. Contributing author on a NeurIPS 2025 publication on uncertainty quantification in deep regression.

  • Built a modular synthetic-data-generation workflow orchestrating GNINA, DiffDock and AlphaFold 2; sourced datasets and handled inter-tool format conversion
  • Predicted protein structures and binding affinities for protein complexes, including metal-ion and ATP cofactors, using Boltz, AlphaFold, Foldseek and BioEMU
  • On the engine team of Uncharted, an internal venture building a multi-objective small-molecule optimisation platform; developed the binding-affinity objective
  • Analysed metagenomic data, prototyped a novel operon-design approach, and ran preclinical power analyses
  • On the NeurIPS 2025 work: ran empirical validation and fine-tuned/retrained the model in PyTorch, informed by a Bayesian / Monte Carlo perspective
  • Ran GPU workloads on an NVIDIA DGX cluster and AWS; Docker, Git and Azure DevOps within an Agile/Scrum team

Postdoctoral Researcher

Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn

Quantitative sensory biology within an international Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) collaboration, with emphasis on statistical modelling and signal processing of behavioural data.

  • Analysed experimental data using Bayesian multilevel regression models in R and Stan
  • Designed and executed behavioural experiments with automated data acquisition pipelines
  • Contributed to interdisciplinary publications spanning biology, optics, and computation

Project Manager (contract)

Lund University

Short-term research management contract supervising experimental data collection and a masters student, bridging doctoral and postdoctoral positions.

Doctoral Researcher

Lund University

Computational and statistical analysis of visual systems in invertebrates, combining experimental biology with quantitative modelling.

  • Built statistical models using Bayesian multilevel regression in R and Stan; additional analysis in Python and Matlab
  • Developed optical and geometric models to estimate spatial resolution theoretically
  • Designed novel experimental protocols for quantifying animal visual performance
