I am working as a Research Associate in the Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde, and GSK, Stevenage, UK, under the supervison of Prof. David Palmer and Dr Andrew Baxter

I am a computational scientist by training, but what really drives me in solving complex problems that make a tangible societal impact. I have a broad background in computational chemistry, chemical biology, medicinal chemistry and machine learning, with specific aims in Developing Data-Driven Approaches to the Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Next-Generation Molecules Beyond Lipinski Space. Prior to my work at Strathclyde, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research and the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, worked closely with the esteemed groups led by Prof. Christopher Schofield, FRS and Prof. Fernanda Duarte. My work involves bacterial proteins that inactivate or evade the action of antibiotics, specifically β-lactamases, transpeptidases and deacetylases, with the goal of exploring their mechanisms and developing resistance-breaking inhibitors that enable effective combination therapies against drug-resistant bacteria. Before Oxford, I also worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Dr. Amanda Jarvis' group at The University of Edinburgh. I specialize in structurally modelling artificial metalloenzymes to enhance their efficiency while also innovating the design of new metalloenzymes. My approach integrates various computational techniques, spanning from molecular docking studies to hybrid QM/MM calculations. I was graduated with PhD degree in 2021 from The University of Manchester, where I worked with Dr. Richard Henchman and Prof. Samuel de Visser, FRS at Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. My research was focused on the Development and Implementation of Algorithms to Determine the Reactions Kinetics and Stability of Biomolecules.
