Romain Strock is a Senior Machine Learning Scientist in London with 13 years of experience at the intersection of AI and biology, blending an early software engineering background with over eight years as an independent AI/ML contractor. He completed a part-time PhD in Computational Biology at Imperial College while discovering novel antibacterial compounds by combining large-scale genomics, DNA foundation models, phylogenetics, structural biology and experimental validation. His industry work spans FTSE‑100 energy systems, urban mobility and travel pricing—shipping production ML solutions for forecasting, fault prediction, geospatial processing and dynamic pricing. Comfortable across the Python deep learning stack (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and cloud/data engineering, he moves projects from research prototypes to deployable systems. Notably, he routinely applies DNA-first modelling techniques (e.g., Enformer adaptations) to sift thousands of genomes for drug discovery, an uncommon bridge between applied ML and wet-lab impact.
