Hello FM20,
Would love to know how’s it going mate?
Appreciate your idea of diving into STEM and I wish you good luck
The Introductions Thread!
Hi 
,
I’m a senior high school student from New Delhi, India and I want to pursue deep learning in my higher education. I spent the last 2 years studying Machine Learning having completed multiple specialisations from deeplearning.ai Google, IBM, Imperial College London and many other courses (ALL CERTIFICATES ON MY WEBSITE). Before that, I’ve worked as a Front End Developer in a leading educational startup. I’ve also worked a lot with IoT and Robotics having won multiple hackathon’s and representing my projects in the National Science Fair consecutively for 2 years. Two of my projects on Fake News Classification and Regressional Analysis of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis are currently being mentored by Intel under the AI4Youth program. I’ve been through the deeplearning.ai AI For Medicine specialisation and also been through some other courses/projects on Genomics/Prognosis/Diagnosis. I’ve worked a lot with JAX based ecosystems having multiple contributions to google/Trax and Flax. I saw the jaxchem repo on Github and was curious. The codebase looks great but it has been quite dormant lately, would love to contribute to the repository if the project is still active.
I hope to pursue my Bachelors ( Hopefully with integrated masters ) from the United Kingdom. I’ve applied and already gotten an offer from the University of Birmingham, hoping to get into University of Edinburgh as well (Fingers Crossed 
)
I’m currently working on Attention and Self-Supervised Representation Learning. Currently working on BioBERT and the ML Reproducibility Challenge.
Here, are my socials if you want to connect : Twitter, Website
I initially came to know about Deepchem after I saw the Gradient Descent podcast by Weights and Biases.

Hi All,
I’m Dr. Ella Gale and I teach and research ML and data science at the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.
I am so grateful that someone has curated all the benchmark data and put useful chemistry models in one place. In research, I’m currently using the model and datasets to benchmark my work. And in teaching I get undergrad and postgrads to train models on data so they can learn about ML in a hands on way.
All,
My name is Martin and I work as a research scientist in aerospace. I did a PhD in mathematics and then worked in insurance, teaching and most recently formal methods.
I have been doing ML long enough now that I have the confidence to pursue a really meaningful application domain, and that is how I landed here! Very excited about computational methods in biotech.
My first project (a “weekends” thing, as I’m working a regular job) is to create a dataset from Shulgin’s PiHKAL and TiHKAL and then to explore it. I hope that I can learn to predict something about activity, but would be satisfied with any interesting exploratory analysis and visualizations.
In the future I’d like to learn about genomics and am particularly keen on exploring inherited metabolic disorders.
Glad to be here,
Martin

Hi everyone,
I’m Sam and I currently work as a medicinal chemist. However, I’ve become very interested in ML and want to grow into becoming a cheminformatician/data scientist.
I learned most of what I know right now by trying to copy DeepChem tutorials and now I want to build coding experience by contributing to this project. Nice to meet you all.
Best,
Sam

Hi everyone!
I am Niklas, a physician-scientist and co-initiator of labDAO, an online community that tries to bridge the gap between compbio and wet-lab biology. We are building a web3-powered layer in which peers in the network can exchange services for eachother in return for tokens. These services can range from using deepchem to perform small molecule docking, to actually synthesizing the compounds and testing them IRL. Right now the project is still very early.
I think we all know how frustrating it can be to set up an environment to run bio-compute. Why is there no huggingface for bio - or better yet - a hosted huggingface inference service that can scale dynamically. We are trying to build one building block for this type of product within LabDAO.
Interested? - join our discord: https://discord.gg/labdao

Hi all,
My name is Andres and I am the cofounder of Medbravo.org. I have a background on deep learning and I am following the tutorials and reading Bharath’s book.
Despite having little background in chemistry I finished #2 in Kaggle’s competition “Predicting molecular properties” where we used transformers to predict j-couplings directly from 3d positions of small molecules (you can check the solution here https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/champs-scalar-coupling/discussion/106468).
Best regards - Andres

Hello everyone,
My name is Tony, I am a graduate student studying AI. My background is in robotics and computer vision, so contributing to deepchem has been a good way for me to broaden my skills. I have been working on developing some of the bioinformatics tools for deepchem and recently joined on officially with Deep Forest Sciences. Feel free to send me a message anytime.

Hello!
My name is Jake and I’m a Northeastern University Data Science student in Boston, MA. I started using DeepChem for a course project I took in the Fall. I’ll be graduating in Spring 2023 and have a position as a Data Scientist lined up at a local biotech company. I know my company has benefitted from and used DeepChem in the past and I am learning a lot using the framework. Looking forward to interacting with some of you.

Hello, my name is Amit Subhash Chejara and I am learning machine learning and PyTorch. I have completed my BSc last year. I am interested in two ideas, protein language modeling and torch compile and PyTorch. Since I am currently learning pytorch and have some experience in linear regression models and classification models in pytorch, I want to ask weather I can contribute to this project or I need a more deeper knowledge of pytorch?
Please Guide me!!
