Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Wieder is a computational chemist and machine learning engineer with eight years of experience bridging quantum mechanics, ML-driven free energy calculations, and drug discovery software. He has held research and senior technical roles at Memorial Sloan Kettering, University of Vienna, Exscientia, OMSF and now Achira, developing differentiable free energy methods and quantum machine learning potentials for real-world molecular problems. Marcus combines deep academic training (PhD in Chemistry) with production-focused ML engineering, contributing to open molecular software and publishing work linked on his ORCID. Based in New York, he is comfortable moving between hands-on model development and integrating research-grade methods into open-source and industry toolchains—an advantage for teams turning cutting-edge theory into usable, scalable tools.
