About

I am a Senior Research Engineer in the AI for Science team, supporting the development and engineering of AI-driven scientific research workflows and applications in the context of small molecule discovery.

I have a PhD focused on knowledge graphs and representation learning from Germany, with a background spanning machine learning systems, large language models, semantic technologies, neuro-symbolic AI, and AI evaluation and safety. Prior to joining Microsoft, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at King’s College London, on interdisciplinary AI projects in collaboration with academic and industry partners across Europe. My work has focused on building reliable and interpretable AI systems, representation learning, and scalable AI driven workflows for complex real-world data.
