Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrédéric Poitevin is a theoretical chemist-turned-AI leader who directs SLAC's AI for Science and Operations department, blending deep domain expertise in biomolecular structural dynamics with machine learning and computer vision. With eight years of experience at SLAC and prior postdoctoral work at Institut Pasteur and Stanford Medicine, he specializes in extracting dynamical information from X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM data to reveal how macromolecular machines work in realistic conditions. He leads interdisciplinary teams that marry rigorous theoretical modeling of transition pathways with advanced data acquisition and analysis to push beyond static structural snapshots. Known for translating complex physical principles into practical experimental and computational workflows, he also serves as a Principal Investigator at the PULSE Institute and runs SLAC's ML & CV group, bringing research-grade AI into facility-scale science operations.
