Steffen Ridderbusch is an AI researcher and engineer blending a DPhil at Oxford with hands-on AI residency at SandboxAQ, where he builds secure, scalable ML services and prototypes generative models for drug and protein design. He specializes in epistemic uncertainty and ML for differential equations, bringing an "AI4Science" lens to problems that span scientific computing and applied product work. Steffen has led company-wide deployments (secure LLM proxy, RAG interface) on AWS, coordinated cross-functional security and compliance, and contributed to battery lifecycle research resulting in publications and provisional patents. Comfortable in both academia and fast-moving startups, he codes fluently (notably in Julia), automates cloud infrastructure, and mentors contributors while keeping a principled, curiosity-driven approach to risk and validation. An early background in dynamical systems and aerospace research (including a JPL visit) gives him a practical edge in modeling physical systems for real-world applications.
