Prof. Victor S. Batista Lab, Yale University

• Developed a novel active learning framework using property-based chemical space representations to reduce computational cost by 10x for aligning generative models.
• Built an end-to-end multi-step retrosynthesis model with SOTA route quality, placing 2nd in the Standard Industries Challenge.
• Developed and self-hosted a web interface to deploy the lab's ML models for public use.

Stealth Startup

• Architected an end-to-end reaction plausibility filtering framework and devised novel negative data generation methods.
• Rebuilt core GNN architecture into a production-ready PyTorch implementation, achieving a 2x inference speedup.

Los Alamos National Laboratory

• Worked on modeling light-matter interactions from first principles in the Center for Nonlinear Studies (T-Division).

Prof. Troy Van Voorhis Lab, MIT

• Developed an MP2-based composite method achieving gold-standard CCSD accuracy for core-electron binding energies at a fraction of the computational cost.
• Automated a computational pipeline with over 2,000 lines of Python/Shell to streamline quantum chemistry workflows.

Beyond Curriculum Public Foundation

• Co-founded a student-led non-profit for STEM education, building a resource now used by 90% of Kazakhstan's national chemistry medalists.
• Platform growth directly correlated with a reversal of a 5-year IChO gold medal drought for the country (2021-2025).
• Secured over $40,000 in grants and managed a remote team of 70+ volunteers.

Kazakhstan Chemistry Olympiads Association (QazChO)

• Established a national association to increase transparency in national team selection and training protocols.
• Authored 70+ problems for national olympiads and implemented data analysis pipelines.
• Represented the Kazakhstan delegation as a translator and arbitrator at IChO (2019-2022).
