Experience
Independent Data Analyst – Tech & Life Sciences
p53-REACT
- Supported partner centers in adopting AI and LLMs-based predictive models for small-molecule discovery and therapeutic response using their genomic databases, designing failure modes for AI, and reducing feature-engineering time by 25%.
- Performed Python analysis and improved domain motion coverage by 30% through integration of free energy data with conformational modeling, mapping heterogeneous protein states for accurate structure–function analysis.
Scientific Researcher (MSCA Secondment)
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
- Engineered bacterial expression systems for plant-derived small-molecule biosynthesis of varying size, conformation, and group substitution, validated by HPLC-LC of 120+ compounds.
- Deployed machine learning workflows on AWS SageMaker to generate experimentally testable hypotheses, achieving accurate protein conformational stability predictions and reducing model training time by 15%.
Scientific Researcher (EU Marie Curie Fellow)
Technical University of Munich (TUM)
- Led a project modeling protein conformational transitions in cancer-linked systems (p53 family and inhibitor interactions), achieving improvements in mutant reactivation efficiency.
- Collaborated with 10+ groups to predict binding interfaces and allosteric mutations, aligning computational and experimental results for potential clinical trial design.
University Lecturer/Visiting Researcher & Visiting Professor
Feira de Santana State University/Federal University of ABC
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
- Investigated glioblastoma-linked systems from NMR spectroscopy, cryo-EM datasets, and molecular dynamics simulations to gain mechanistic insights across 8 protein targets.
- Designed protein unfolding landscape models and aggregation-propensity maps, generating 20+ molecular biomarkers based on rigorous management of thermodynamic perturbations.
Research Fellow
Institut Pasteur
- Worked with 12 custom nucleases for gene editing using NGS-based off-target prediction models, and applied the ARIA computational tool to calculate molecular structures from NMR data, improving editing specificity by 20%.
