Bio

Accomplished computational chemist with over 13 years of research experience in using and developing variety of computational, quantitative, and machine learning tools/techniques for drug discovery research. Proven history in overseeing all aspects of projects from initial planning and team coordination all the way to technical writing and publication. Adept at designing drug discovery research projects leveraging computer-aided drug discovery methods. Produced several open-source computational tools for drug discovery research as a result of my academic research, which are currently being used by both academic and pharmaceutical companies. In my role as Principal Investigator at Roivant Discovery, I served as the main driver in developing specialized AI/ML tools for Roivant’s QUAISAR drug discovery platform. As a Lead of Translational Informatics & Computational Pharmacology at Expert Systems, I design strategies for our drug discovery platform and oversee all the translational modeling projects with the clients.
