What happens when AI can design a toxin that no screening tool recognizes? Amirali Aghazadeh is an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, with program faculty roles in Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, and Bioengineering. Trained at Rice with postdocs at Stanford and UC Berkeley, he builds machine-learning methods for protein and small-molecule design — and is now developing biosecurity screening that flags dangerous designs by structure and function, not just sequence.
