Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephanie Linker is a Senior Scientist in Computational Biochemistry with nine years of experience at the intersection of molecular simulation, machine learning, and drug/chemical innovation. Currently at Merck, she designs digital solutions—from graph neural networks for chemoinformatics and MD-driven lipid design to diffusion-based generative models for protein binders—and has rotated across LLMs, ontologies, and data engineering in enterprise platforms. Her PhD work at ETH Zürich on enhanced sampling and cyclic peptides underpins a pragmatic ability to turn advanced simulation and ML methods into deployable tools and Streamlit apps. She combines top academic training (MSc/BS with distinction) with startup and innovation program experience, and is notable for repeatedly bridging deep computational research with product-focused engineering in regulated industry settings.
