Hi, I'm James Roney.
I'm currently a Research Engineer at DE Shaw Research in New York, where I work on problems at the intersection of machine learning and drug discovery. I graduated from Harvard in 2022, where I did research on various topics in computer science, statistics, and biology. I'm broadly interested in applying computational methods to problems involving biological structure. My specific areas of interest include the use of machine learning to help with protein structure modeling, protein design, structure-based drug design, and molecular simulation.
