Building AI for quantum-accurate simulation of biological molecules


Hello! My name is Josh Rackers and I am Machine Learning Scientist at Prescient Design. Previously I was a Truman Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories. My research focuses on building AI models to make quantum-accurate simulations of biological molecules a reality. Predictive simulations will one day be used to discover new medicines, understand the molecular origins of disease, and engineer new biomolecular machines. I build tools that use machine learning and quantum chemistry/physics to help make these presently impossible simulations possible.
