Interview with Onur Boyar: Drug and material design using generative models and Bayesian optimization

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. Onur Boyar is a PhD student at Nagoya university, working on generative models and Bayesian methods for materials and drug design. We met Onur to find out more about his research projects, methodology, and collaborations with chemists. I'm from Turkey, and I came to Japan three years ago to pursue my PhD. Before coming here, I was already interested in generative models, Bayesian methods, and Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques.
