Alex Tong is an incoming Assistant Professor at Duke University (as of 2025) and will join Aithyra in Vienna as a Principal Investigator. Previously, he completed postdoctoral research at Mila under Yoshua Bengio and a visiting postdoc at Oxford with Michael Bronstein.
- Education: PhD (2021) and MPhil (2020) in Computer Science from Yale University; BS/MS (2017) from Tufts University
Research Interests span generative modeling, deep learning, optimal transport, and graph signal processing applied to protein design and single-cell biology. His work bridges mathematical formalism (e.g., SE(3) flows, Wasserstein manifolds) with biological discovery.
Publication Trends (2023-2025) focus on diffusion models for protein structure prediction, optimal transport in single-cell analysis, and geometric machine learning for molecular dynamics. Collaborations include labs like Mila, Oxford, and Yale.
- Awards: Best Paper (Gen Bio @ ICML 2025), Outstanding Paper (DELTA @ ICLR 2025), Best Student Paper (IEEE MLSP 2020)
