Next up on the fAQ Podcast, Tai-Danae Bradley sits down with Samantha Davis, a postdoc resident on the AI Simulation team at SandboxAQ. Samantha shares her remarkable scientific journey, which spans from earning a PhD in physics at Caltech, where she built quantum teleportation networks, to her current work building virtual cell simulation engines for computational biology.
But her path to these incredible achievements was wonderfully unconventional. Tune in to hear how Samantha transitioned her mindset from open-ended academic curiosity to product-driven industry deliverables, how she balances it all with adventurous travels like hiking the pristine lakes of the Andes, and why she believes the deepest scientific discoveries happen at the intersection of fields.
