Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbel Jansma is a theoretical physicist turned biomedical AI researcher with eight years of experience exploring the physics of machine learning, causality, and their applications in biomedicine. Currently a Fellow at the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena in Amsterdam, he previously held a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute and completed a PhD focused on using physics language to understand interactions and causal structure in genetic networks. Abel bridges rigorous theory (information theory, category-theoretic models) with practical R&D—leading the Stator software package at Edinburgh and contributing to interdisciplinary teams on bioinformatics and causal inference. His background includes work on modeling flows in complex systems with the Ethereum Foundation and hands-on experimental projects, reflecting a rare blend of abstract math, software development, and lab-adjacent engineering. Colleagues describe him as someone who finds concrete computational insights from deep theoretical tools, often revealing non-obvious connections between statistical physics and biomedical signal interpretation.
