Amol completed his PhD in under the supervision of Professor Jean-Louis Reymond at the University of Bern in collaboration with the Molecular AI team led by Ola Engkvist at AstraZeneca. His work has focused on achieving an acceleration in chemical discovery using machine learning, as applied to molecular design, chemical synthesis, and automation. This has been marked by the release of one of the first open-source Computer Aided Synthesis Prediction tools, called AiZynthFinder. He is currently a research scientist at IBM Research Zurich, where he continues to explore models to accelerate chemical discovery.
