Senior🎓
Top SchoolStijn Fias is Director of Quantum Chemistry at Chembricks and co-founder/technical lead of Quantum Wave Solutions, blending 20+ years of academic and industrial expertise in quantum chemistry, molecular modelling, chemical space exploration, and applied machine learning. He holds a PhD in quantum chemistry and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship, and has authored 50 peer-reviewed publications with an h-index of 31, demonstrating sustained impact across theory and application. His research bridges conceptual DFT and advanced multi-reference wavefunction methods to enable inverse molecular design and reactivity prediction for challenging systems such as radicals and transition-metal complexes. At QWS he translates scientific ML into regulated settings—screening senior consultants and shaping an AI/ML practice that serves EU institutions and financial clients. He also led chemometrics teams at Foodpairing AI, showing a pragmatic ability to move models from research into product contexts. Known for combining deep theoretical rigor with practical software development, he’s a go-to collaborator for thoughtful AI deployment in regulated industries.
