Lucas Attia

I am currently an ML researcher working with Eli Lilly and Company on the Lilly TuneLab platform. Prior to joining Lilly, I earned my PhD in chemical engineering from MIT working in the Doyle Group. Funded as a DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow, my dissertation focused on drug nanoparticle processing and spanned nanotechnology, molecular simulation, and cheminformatics. I earned my B.S.E in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware. I am passionate about leveraging computational modeling to guide, inform, and accelerate the design of novel molecules and materials. An accomplished scientific communicator, I have contributed to 12+ peer-reviewed publications and 60+ presentations at conferences and symposia, and have delivered 12+ award-winning presentations. I enjoy fostering collaboration and mentorship within research environments.
