I graduated from Brown University in 2019 with a BSc in Applied Mathematics. Before Brown, I went to the Hopkins School in New Haven, CT. Since school, I've been working on Machine Learning methods for drug discovery. I focus on AutoML, graph-based methods, MLOps, small-data ML (transfer learning), and active learning.

Recently, I've been leading research and development of supervised learning methods at Schrodinger, with particular emphasis on supporting medicinal chemistry operations. A large part of that work is dedicated to the development and productization of an automated molecular property prediction application.

I believe that easy-to-use and predictive machine learning models are very powerful tools. These models are able to augment and extend the capabilities of domain experts, allowing for data-driven decision making.
