Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLorenzo Boninsegna is a computational chemist and machine learning postdoc with nearly a decade of experience building physics-informed and data-driven methods for biomolecular systems and drug discovery. He blends molecular dynamics, statistical mechanics, and ML to create platforms that scale from atomistic models to whole-genome 3D structure prediction, achieving >99% agreement with experimental Hi-C datasets. A PhD-trained theoretician with roots in mathematical physics, he has translated complex methods into reproducible software (see CompChemML on GitHub) and published in high-impact venues like Nature Methods. Awarded UCLA’s Chancellor’s Award and the 2024 J. Pickett Award, he excels at cross-disciplinary collaboration and communicating technical ideas to diverse audiences. Notably, he pairs a soft spot for statistical mechanics with practical generative and ligand-based modeling approaches that bridge theory and applied drug design.
