What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build AI-driven systems that act as an autonomous scientific co-pilot—combining generative deep learning, hybrid ML, and digital twins—to accelerate biomedical materials and intelligent manufacturing outcomes.

I’m an “AI Scientist and Postdoctoral Researcher” specializing in generative deep learning, hybrid machine learning, and AI-driven scientific discovery. I publish in high-impact Q1 journals (Advanced Intelligent Systems, Digital Discovery) and focus on advancing AI as an autonomous scientific co-pilot for materials innovation and intelligent systems.

Most recently, I’ve been architecting a multimodal adaptive AI system that combines NLP, computer vision, and reinforcement learning to personalize learning trajectories for early childhood development, and I’m developing prototype LLM-enhanced reasoning modules for adaptive educational decision support. Previously, I built hybrid and generative predictive pipelines for biomedical materials (e.g., R² = 0.96 for surface performance modeling and R² = 0.90–0.94 across biological endpoints) and developed smart-manufacturing digital twins that improved anomaly detection accuracy from 40% to 90% using a hybrid AI framework. I also founded an AI-driven platform, Evolythic, to showcase research initiatives and applied solutions.
