Vaibhav Agrawal is a PhD-level ML researcher finishing at Tübingen (committee: Schölkopf, Bauer, Pichler) who specializes in data-efficient deep learning for small-cohort biomedical problems and generative models for protein design. He has delivered state-of-the-art, interpretable models that dramatically improve low-sample tumor-omics and malignancy prediction (e.g., a dictionary-learning CNN +36pp over fine-tuned ResNet-18 on 131 samples and an ensemble attribution pipeline reaching 83.4% on a 34-patient cohort). His work spans multi-modal PET–MRI fusion and large-scale 3D medical imaging (Nature Biomed Eng, JCI Insight), and he builds practical evaluation infrastructure—shipping the open TriFinger robot platform and the NeurIPS Real Robot Challenge cloud harness used by hundreds of teams. Currently developing non-autoregressive discrete diffusion over pretrained embeddings for activity-conditioned enzyme design with first validated designs expected Q3 2026, he’s strongest where scientific ML meets tight-data regimes, biomedical AI, or evaluation infrastructure. EU Blue Card eligible and open to research-scientist, ML-scientist, or research-engineer roles across DACH/EU/UK/CH from August 2026.
