Andrea is interested in graph learning and explainable AI in the life sciences 🤖🧬. He is a Junior Research Group Leader at Uni Bonn. When he is not in Bonn, he is probably in Japan at NAIST 🗾, where he is an Assistant Professor, or in Italy, drinking espresso ☕ and eating pizza 🍕.

Julia is a Ph.D. student working on graph-based models, such as graph transformers, for targeted molecular generation ⚛️. She is particularly interested in how we can use these models to design molecules with specific properties in mind, while also trying to understand what they are actually learning along the way 💡. Outside the lab, she's usually trying to learn something else. She loves learning languages and picking up new skills (her latest adventure is ice skating ⛸️), she also enjoys knitting, going to the movies 🎞️, and getting lost in a good puzzle or word game (especially crosswords and NYT Connections) 🧩.

Francesco is a Ph.D. student working on graph learning, with a particular interest in applying it to real-world problems in biology 🧬. Outside the lab, you’ll usually find him hiking 🏔️, biking 🚵, or baking and cooking something new 🥧🍝.
