Senior Machine Learning Engineer
Rhys is a machine learning engineer specializing in protein design and optimization. He earned a BSc in Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 2019. During his studies, he contributed to research in space physics, oceanography, mathematics, and immunology before joining a biotech company in 2018. There, he designed and built sequence analysis pipelines, antibody selection models, and computational approaches to antibody optimization. His current research leverages deep-learning–based protein prediction models to design novel therapeutics.
Outside of work, Rhys plays tennis, swims, and runs. He also enjoys reading about the history of science and technology and keeping up with the latest advances in artificial intelligence.
