About

Hi, I'm Raunak, a third-year ECE undergrad at IIT Roorkee. I am deeply passionate and curious about AI4Bio. I am interested in designing foundational models that truly understand the underlying phyiscs of biological systems. I strongly believe biological systems should be the next frontier to uncover the fundamental theories of both physics and chemistry. The next gen models should be aware of core scientific theories and be physics-informed by inducing inductive biases from heuristics learnt over millions of years.
