Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Janet is a Director at AstraZeneca who applies state-of-the-art machine learning and computational chemistry to accelerate drug discovery, with a decade of experience bridging data, simulation and uncertainty quantification. He completed a Ph.D. in Computational and Chemical Engineering at MIT after formative stints in computational mathematics across Europe and a South African chemical engineering background. Jon has progressed through technical and leadership roles at AstraZeneca, translating research-grade ML into production science for novel materials and molecules. He is particularly interested in combining simulation-driven design with probabilistic ML to make decisions under uncertainty—a skill honed on projects ranging from CFD nucleation modeling to systems-level teaching and tutoring. Based in Gothenburg, he brings both deep academic rigor and practical multidisciplinary engineering experience to tackle hard scientific problems.
