Assistant professor at the ChemE department of University of Toronto, PI of of the Chemical Cognition Lab. Previously I was a Research Scientist at Google Deepmind/Brain for 5 years.
I am a researcher that solves chemical problems leveraging data-driven techniques. I design, build, and evaluate computational tools that enable molecular discoveries, covering small molecules, polymers, chemical mixtures, and proteins. I strive to bring computational predictions into the lab by designing experimental validation with collaborators, prioritizing interpretation of our discoveries, and making research clear and approachable.
Besides research, I am also passionate about science education and divulgation. I am one of the founders and organizers of a STEM-education NGO Clubes de Ciencia Mexico and a LatinX-centered AI conference RIIAA.
