Summary
Danyal Rehman is a Banting Postdoctoral Researcher at Mila and a visiting researcher at the Broad Institute, leveraging 13 years of experience at the intersection of generative AI, physics-informed deep learning, and computational science. He earned a Ph.D. from MIT where he advanced multi-ionic transport models and self-supervised PDE learning, and his work has translated to field-validated models and rapid reduced-order solvers used in real-world energy and fluid systems. Danyal focuses on generative AI for materials and drug discovery, combining active learning with constraints for synthesizable molecular design. He has industry experience from Flagship Pioneering and Pratt & Whitney and a strong track record in bridging high-fidelity physics models with scalable ML solutions. Notably, his research produced model predictions within 4% of experiments across multiple African field trials and engineered CFD approximations two orders of magnitude faster than full simulations.
