Researcher
Dr. Yuki Tanaka
Yuki leads the evaluation programme at Apex — the held-out experimental endpoints, the wind-tunnel correlations, the FEP+ ground-truth replication studies. Her work decides which benchmarks reach /benchmarks and which don't. Previously, she was a research engineer at a frontier lab and a PhD in computational chemistry.
