Background

About Adil Kabylda

I am a Ph.D. researcher in the Theoretical Chemical Physics group at the University of Luxembourg, advised by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko. My research focuses on extending the applicability of machine learning force fields to larger molecules, with particular emphasis on accurately describing long-range interactions. My ultimate goal is to enable atomistic modeling and understanding of increasingly complex (bio)molecular systems. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in chemistry from Moscow State University in 2021, specializing in physical and quantum chemistry. During my master's degree, I joined the Quantum Photodynamics Laboratory, where I studied fundamental chemical processes of living organisms using state-of-the-art quantum chemistry methods. These included photo-induced isomerization of retinal, proton and electron transfer in green fluorescent protein. As an undergraduate, I pursued research in organic synthesis, developing efficient routes to naturally occurring alkaloids and designing asymmetric ion-pairing catalysts. I grew up in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, and discovered my passion for the natural sciences through high school chemistry olympiads. Besides research, my interests include counter-strike, chess, and russian rap music.
