Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNazanin Donyapour is a Senior Computational Scientist with eight years of experience at the intersection of molecular simulation and machine learning, currently applying her expertise at Axle Informatics. She holds a PhD in Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering from Michigan State University and has developed enhanced sampling methods, deep learning models for partition coefficient prediction, and efficient ML strategies for dynamic drug design. Comfortable coding and building algorithms end-to-end, she focuses on ML/AI-driven computational drug design tasks such as predicting drug-like properties, protein–ligand interactions, docking, and binding scoring functions. Her background in computer engineering and IT, combined with rigorous doctoral research (3.92 GPA), gives her a rare blend of theoretical rigor and practical implementation experience. She is actively seeking ML/DL scientist or data scientist roles where she can translate advanced simulation and ML methods into predictive tools for drug discovery.
