My name is Raúl Fernández Díaz and I'm a PhD Student working under the supervision of Prof. Denis Shields (UCD Conway Institute) and Thanh Lam Hoang (IBM Research) on Foundation Models for Protein Representation Learning. I hold a BSc. in Biotechnology and a MSc. in Bioinformatics, which allow me to tackle the complex idiosyncrasies of working at the interface between computation, statistics, biology, and chemistry with a holistic approach.
