Ladislav Rampasek is a Senior Research Scientist at Isomorphic Labs with 14 years of experience applying geometric deep learning and probabilistic modeling to biomedical problems. He earned a PhD from the University of Toronto and completed postdoctoral work in prominent geometric deep learning groups at Mila and Université de Montréal, focusing on latent-variable models and variational inference for cancer treatment prediction and drug perturbation effects. His background spans industry internships at Google and Atomwise and contributions to open-source graph transformer tooling—recently updating GraphGPS training and checkpointing for PyG v2 compatibility to streamline fine-tuning and deployment. Based in London, he blends rigorous academic research with practical engineering, optimizing model training pipelines for real-world drug discovery applications. Known for translating complex probabilistic methods into scalable code, he brings both theoretical depth and hands-on systems experience to translational AI projects.

Back-end Developer
Contributions:2 releases, 16 commits, 18 PRs in 7 months
Contributions summary:Ladislav refactored and updated component registration for compatibility with PyGv2.0.4, focusing on optimizer and scheduler configurations. They also modified the main training script to integrate pretrained models and fine-tuning capabilities, which involved changes to the training and inference pipelines. Furthermore, the user modified model checkpointing and loading mechanisms. These changes indicate a focus on model training and deployment, optimizing the existing code for the updated PyG version.
