Senior🎓
Top SchoolSohvi Luukkonen is a Senior Lecturer and researcher based in Linz with nine years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of theoretical chemistry, machine learning, and drug discovery. Currently leading research and teaching on language modeling for biological and chemical sequences at JKU Linz, she pairs hands-on AI instruction with student mentorship across bachelor and master programs. Her background includes a PhD in theoretical chemistry from Université Paris-Saclay and postdoctoral work on de novo drug design and large-scale kinase activity modeling, blending simulation-driven solvation expertise with ML-driven QSAR and uncertainty quantification. Sohvi is notable for translating liquid-state theory and molecular simulation methods into AI-enabled pipelines for chemical reasoning—an uncommon cross-disciplinary skill set that bridges fundamental statistical mechanics with practical drug discovery applications.
