About
I’m a researcher in scientific ML, and specifically the application of ML to unsolved problems in biology. :)
• Tech lead in protein+ML at Cradle, building and selling AI into pharma.
• Hacked away at bio+ML at Google X, super-secret moonshot division.
• Open source scientific software; in particular the JAX scientific ecosystem. At last count ~10M downloads per month.
• Neural differential equations. One of the coolest ways to solve problems biology, physics, engineering, etc.
• Honorary lectureship at Imperial.
• PhD at Oxford, now an increasingly long time ago.
When I’m not staring at code, I can usually be found…
…writing blog posts about knowing stuff.
…sailing, hiking, or cycling.
…gallivanting around the world, living out of a single backpack.
…being ignored by my cat, who is nevertheless fluffy and exceptionally cute.
Past me had a long list of hobbies: ice hockey, underwater hockey, archery, jiu jitsu, taekwondo, more, and I like to pretend that I am still the serial hobbyist that I was in my now-receding youth.
I have an active social media presence, most notably on X/Twitter, Bluesky, Reddit, and GitHub.
I currently live in Zürich, but frequently find myself somewhere else.
