Hello, I'm Martin
I am a computational chemist, and member of the Duarte and Langton research groups. I am a machine learning enthusiast with a passion for chemistry with medicinal applications and furthering biological understanding.
My DPhil work focuses on macromolecular transporters with applications in the study of chloride channelopathies. Since the outset of my DPhil, I have developed a particular passion for computational chemistry, with my work lying at the intersection of molecular simulation, DFT, and cutting-edge machine learning techniques, aiming to solve complex problems in the chemistry of life.
Currently, I am developing tools to enable efficient training of Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (within the Duarte group's MLPtrain package) to simulate chloride transporters in solution.
In the future I wish to use the knowledge I have honed in chemical synthesis, classical and machine learning simulations to solve problems in drug discovery and development.
It is a personal goal for me to help explore the untapped potential in the use of machine learning for solving complex problems in chemical science, by joining an organisation pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.
Feel free to explore my research, side projects, or get to know my interests.
