Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos B is a computational chemistry senior research scientist with nine years of experience applying quantum chemistry, molecular modeling, cheminformatics, and machine learning to drug discovery and materials problems. He has led design and platform efforts across industry and academia—driving RNA-targeted and small-molecule programs, integrating physics-based methods with ML to improve virtual screening and compound triage, and moving discoveries from hit identification to lead optimization. His work spans high-performance and cloud computing, automation of simulation workflows, and implementing advanced electronic-structure corrections for challenging noncovalent interactions, which directly increased platform adoption and delivered confirmed actives. A two-time postdoc with a PhD, he pairs deep theoretical expertise (benchmarking lattice and interaction energies) with practical engineering of tools and compute infrastructure to boost team throughput. Based in San Diego, he excels at translating complex simulations into actionable insights for cross-functional teams and has a patent-backed track record of combining AI and robotics in closed-feedback experimental loops.
