Allan dos Santos Costa

I’m a researcher at CZI Biohub working on deep learning for structural biology 🧬.

I hold a PhD from MIT, where I investigated generative models for biomolecules at the Molecular Machines / Center for Bits and Atoms group, under Prof. Joseph Jacobson, co-advised by Prof. Tess Smidt at the Atomic Architects. I also hold a Master’s from the same lab, and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science & Engineering and Physics from MIT.

As research intern I worked on protein language modeling and structure prediction (ESMFold) at Meta AI, investigated learning potentials at D. E. Shaw Research, and developed generative dynamics simulation models with NVIDIA.

Always up for a good chat over a good espresso. ☕
