I build the computational machinery behind new medicines — from quantum-scale physics to billion-compound screens to the pipelines that keep it all reproducible. Where atoms move, life evolves.

The short version

Quantum physics taught me rigour. Biology gave me a reason to use it.

I am a postdoctoral scholar in Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, where I design battlefield-viable anesthetics using AI-driven protein design and high-throughput virtual screening.

Before Stanford I built multi-omics infrastructure at the German Cancer Research Center, modelled antibody clones at Karolinska, and completed a PhD in physics at Uppsala bridging DFT-level material simulation with atomistic biology.

What I work on

Four things, done properly.

[04]
01

AI-driven drug discovery

Screening billions of compounds against AlphaFold-derived receptor ensembles, with active-learning triage and ADMET/QSAR profiling to cut wet-lab burden.

  • AlphaFold3
  • Boltz2
  • AutoDock-GPU
  • RDKit
02

Atomistic simulation

GPU-accelerated molecular dynamics and alchemical free-energy workflows that turn docking scores into binding affinities you can act on.

  • GROMACS
  • OpenMM
  • FEP
  • Metadynamics
03

Reproducible infrastructure

Production Nextflow and Snakemake pipelines across HPC and cloud — multi-omics, variant calling, and virtual screening that run the same way twice.

  • Nextflow
  • SLURM
  • Docker
  • AWS
04

Agentic scientific tooling

ReAct agents that drive real bioinformatics tools, with evals and failure-case curation instead of demo-grade prompt chains.

  • Claude Code
  • Tool-calling
  • REST
  • Next.js
