Profile

~10 years experience in pharms R&D, spanning from discovery to early clinical phase. From first principles, my work designs modelling languages that reveal the underlying structure of complex systems. Statistics, mathematics, machine learning, and dynamical reasoning serve not as separate toolkits, but as coherent expressions of shared logical foundations. These frameworks allow learning algorithms to emerge naturally from real-world problems, producing models that are both expressive and interpretable. Modelling in this view, becomes a process of uncovering the rules, dynamics, and stochastic systems that generate data – more than merely fitting patterns within it.

Background

Mathematics and Statistics by training. Extensive experience with omics (RNAseq + proteomics), PKPD (pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics), high dimensional biomarker (flow cytometry, cytokine, HLA etc), microscopy image, preclinical/clinical efficacy and safety data
