I'm excited to open the new year by sharing a new perspective paper.
I give a informal outline of MD and how it can interact with Generative AI. Then, I discuss how far the field has come since the seminal contributions, such as Boltzmann Generators, and what is still missing
Please apply (or encourage your grad students to apply) to our awesome funded summer program by January 15th!

Sign up for the Biochemical Society’s original R course, R101! Suited for beginners, this course will teach you how to get data into R, and manipulating and visualising this using various methods. 🧪 https://ow.ly/O0ga50XNCuX
I’m happy to share that I have successfully defended my Master’s thesis, "AI-driven Prediction of Circular Dichroism Spectra of Proteins," at Cinvestav! 🧬🎓🥳
In this research, I integrated Deep Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) into the KCD method, increasing the average prediction accuracy by 40%. 📈
More unsolicited advice for early career researchers:
8. Just do it!
Just keep moving, keep taking initiative, and good things will follow. It’s the only sensible way to spend our limited time on this planet and value life. kamounlab.medium.com/7-random-uns...

1/5We are entering a new era of molecular design, with broad applications in medicine, biotechnology, and materials science. We introduce the Key-Cutting Machine (KCM) – a novel optimization-based platform that leverages structure prediction to achieve precise backbone geometries—all on a single GPU
In case you're still looking for a gift idea for your PhD students, I made a tutorial on how to sew a tote bag in a fabric poster. It's in french but I'm sure you're all smart enough to get it.
Magnifique! Un bon cadeau pour mon directeur aussi haha :)

Screenshot of the article header from the European Journal for Philosophy of Science titled “Experiment and the pursuit of ugly models” by Martin King. The header indicates it is a paper in philosophy of the natural sciences. The DOI is https://doi.org/10.1007/s13194-025-00692-y
Physicists have long been enamored with “beautiful” models—but this seems to have changed in high-energy physics. In his new paper, Martin King argues that experimental contexts strongly determine the pursuitworthiness of “ugly models” 👇📃 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #philsci #philphysics #HPS
