Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Pearce is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in deep learning for biomolecular design, currently developing circular RNA therapeutics at CircNova to target previously "undruggable" diseases. With a PhD-focused background in Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics from the University of Michigan, Robin combines rigorous physics/statistical methods with modern ML to advance protein and RNA structure prediction and design. Prior roles include research faculty at NUS and extensive graduate research in the Zhang Lab, where he built tools and infrastructure used by over 160,000 global users. His work spans end-to-end computational pipelines, experimental validation of therapeutic proteins, and applied imaging/Monte Carlo software for radiation therapy—demonstrating a rare mix of bench-informed engineering and production-grade software. Based in Detroit, he brings four years of focused industry experience plus deep academic training, with a track record of mentoring students and translating research into usable platforms. An under-the-radar strength is his history of running high-impact lab services (webmaster for a widely used server), showing attention to reliability and user-facing reproducibility.
