My name is Panagiotis (Παναγιώτης, IPA: [panaˈʝotis]) and I’m a Research Scientist at Isomorphic Labs working towards Drug Discovery with AI. Before that, I was a DPhil student at the university of Oxford, studying in the area of Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems, under the supervision of Dr. Yarin Gal (OATML). I am interested in causality, bayesian cybernetics and generative design.
In past life, I worked as an ML engineer for companies like Microsoft, Autodesk, Brave and co-run my own startup Filisia, a company specialized in special-education technology.
Research Interests
I'm interested in applications of deep learning in scientific discovery. That includes designing systems that are good at modelling (e.g. inductive biases) or pioneering techniques to enhance explainability and interpretability (e.g. causal discovery) or researching on methods that can optimize the efficiency of experimentation (e.g. Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design) for the rapid discovery of the phenomena of interest.
