Zhuoran Qiao

Physics-Informed AI for Biochemical Discovery.

I am a Lead Machine Learning Scientist at Entos, Inc. I earned my Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Caltech CCE with a minor in Quantum Science and Engineering (Thesis), where I was fortunately advised by Prof. Anima Anandkumar and Prof. Thomas Miller. My research centers around developing physics-driven geometric learning approaches to tackle complex problems in chemistry and chemical biology, with main interests in the study of electronic structure and dynamics out of equilibrium.

I earned my BSc from Peking University in 2019. As an undergraduate student I worked in the Gao Group at PKU CCME, where I studied the statistical mechanics of confined soft matters.
