Early research: features, images & bioinformatics ↗HOW I THINK
Building my own digital self.
My vision is to build my own digital self: one that carries forward my knowledge, ways of thinking and creativity, researches and builds alongside me, and learns from the feedback of real work. Starting with peptide research, I’m connecting knowledge, algorithms and collaborating agents. A complete digital self and an autonomous learning loop remain long-term goals.
