Sarah de Ruiter

Sarah de Ruiter is a PhD candidate in the Molecular Machine Learning group. She completed both her bachelor and master degrees in Biomedical Engineering in the group, focusing on structured state space models for de novo drug design and molecular task arithmetic to edit chemical language models, respectively. Prior to her doctoral studies, she completed an internship at IBM Research in Zurich as part of the AI for Scientific Discovery team. During her PhD, Sarah will work on infusing chemical knowledge and intuition into deep learning models to advance drug design methodologies.
