Combining My Chemical Synthesis Expertise with Computational Tools to Bridge Chemical Innovation

Science
Meet the Speaker:
I am a trained laboratory chemist with 10+ years of synthesizing challenging and novel organometallic and organic molecules. Since June 2020, I transitioned to becoming a computational chemist where I applied my synthetic chemistry knowledge to steer the development of a machine learning model for predicting chemical reactivities. Currently, I am a volunteer researcher with the Open Source Pharma Foundation (OSPF), a global non-profit organization aiming to develop more affordable and accessible therapeutics in areas of greater need.
