Shape the Future With Us

We are building a group where rigorous science and bold ideas meet — if that excites you, we would love to hear from you. We welcome applications from PhD students and postdoctoral researchers eager to work at the intersection of chemistry, biology, medicine, and machine learning. No prior experience in computational chemistry is required; what matters is curiosity, drive, and a genuine interest in solving problems that matter. Funded positions will be advertised here as they become available.

Join the Group

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Hafiz directly. Applications should include a cover letter outlining your research interests and a full CV.
