I am a third-year PhD student at the Czech Technical University in Prague, supervised by Josef Sivic. My primary research interest is developing AI to discover new molecules, such as drugs or enzymes.

I have been working on machine learning methods for designing and optimizing protein interactions, as well as for discovering small molecules from nature via mass spectrometry. Currently, I focus on machine learning for enzymes, combining these two research directions. We closely collaborate with my brother, Roman Bushuiev.

I come from Donetsk, Ukraine.
