Vikram Sundar is interested in exploring the application of machine learning and other computational techniques to structural biology and problems of relevance in drug discovery. He did his undergrad at Harvard in math and physics and conducted research there on incorporating nuclear quantum effects into biomolecular simulations. Since then, he has spent one year in Cambridge doing a masters' degree in chemistry on a Churchill Scholarship and one year at Google as an AI resident developing machine learning models for protein/ligand binding. Outside of research, he is an avid classical pianist.
