Senior Scientist
StemSynergy THERAPEUTICS INC.
- Strategically led the computational part of molecular modeling, drug discovery, and structural biology. Leveraged state-of-the-art technologies.
- Collaborated and transparently communicated results with colleagues from the chemistry and biology departments and stake holders. Custom-built LINUX computer clusters with GPUs and CPUs
- Wrote a substantial amount of Python scripts to analyze huge volumes of data generated from molecular dynamics simulations. Conducted unsupervised machine learning algorithms using k-means clustering on a custom build cluster. Implemented the script so that 10M+ data points could efficiently be clustered into 14k+ clusters in less than 30 minutes
-
Sep 2019 - Sep 2021
Postdoctoral Scholar
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
- Conducted individual research, actively working on multiple projects at the same time.Assisted colleagues with no prior experience in programming/LINUX environment
- Learned all the fundamentals, terminologies, and C++ in a short period of time. Actively contributed to a codebase for protein modeling, specifically ensemble based ligand docking algorithm within ROSETTA software
- Enabled rotating student to successfully complete a mini project with close supervision and mentorship. Enabled students to become comfortable with LINUX command lines in a few short months.
