Summary
Shaurya Seth is a machine learning engineer with 9 years of experience applying AI to scientific problems, currently building a deep-learning driven computational drug discovery pipeline in Edmonton. With a physics background and an economics minor from the University of Alberta, he combines rigorous quantitative thinking with practical data engineering—having compiled and integrated over a million molecular binding interactions to train cutting-edge binding predictors. His research roots include developing GlyNet-style encodings for complex carbohydrates and automating an industrial plant with reinforcement learning, where classical predictors sometimes outperformed deep RL. Shaurya’s toolkit spans PyTorch, RDKit, transformers, and XGBoost, and he focuses on accelerating discovery by reducing screening costs through computational triage. Notably, he blends domain knowledge in molecular representation with production-minded model evaluation to move models from research prototypes toward impactful screening workflows.
