Eshel Faraggi
Profile
Unique and passionate physicist
with over 30 years experience in
predicting the outcome of
complex systems. Leading
developer for a framework to
predict the scaling of hysteresis,
laser absorption by the retina,
and the 3D structure of proteins.
Responsible for implementing
the bi-modal distribution of the
protein dihedrals into protein
structure prediction tools. Was
among the first to introduce ML
into 3D protein prediction. Over
15 years experience in ML and AI.
A pioneer of this approach in
bioinformatics.
