Researcher

Andreas Loukas

Andreas Loukas is a computer scientist whose work connects graph neural networks with AI for protein design. He earned computer science degrees at the University of Patras and TU Delft, then pursued postdoctoral research at TU Berlin and EPFL and became an assistant professor at the University of Luxembourg. At Genentech's Prescient Design, he co-led machine learning for computational molecule design, and his coauthored antibody-generation paper received an ICLR Outstanding Paper award in 2024. As of October 2026, he has a current affiliation with Isomorphic Labs and is a Principal Researcher at Google.

Timeline

  1. 2010–2015

    Computer science degrees

    He earns a computer science diploma at the University of Patras in 2010 and a computer science PhD at TU Delft in 2015.

  2. 2015

    Distributed graph filtering

    In 2015, he coauthors Distributed autoregressive moving average graph filters, a paper that introduces autoregressive moving average filters on graphs and presents a distributed implementation.

  3. 2016–2018

    Postdoctoral research at EPFL

    After postdoctoral studies at TU Berlin and EPFL, he works as a postdoctoral researcher with EPFL's LTS2 from 2016 to 2017. In 2018, he becomes an SNSF Ambizione fellow at EPFL.

  4. 2020

    Limits of message-passing networks

    In 2020, his paper What graph neural networks cannot learn: depth vs width studies the expressive power of graph neural networks in the message-passing framework.

  5. 2021

    Assistant professor in Luxembourg

    In 2021, he becomes an assistant professor in the Computer Science department at the University of Luxembourg.

  6. 2022–2024

    Machine learning at Prescient

    He joins Genentech/Roche in 2022 and co-leads the machine-learning effort at Prescient Design, developing structure-, geometry-, and constraint-aware neural networks for computational molecule design. His Roche role continues through 2024.

  7. 2024

    An ICLR outstanding paper award

    He coauthors Protein Discovery with Discrete Walk-Jump Sampling, which evaluates discrete walk-jump sampling for generative modeling of antibody proteins. The paper wins an ICLR 2024 Outstanding Paper award.

  8. As of October 2026

    Google and Isomorphic Labs

    He is a Principal Researcher at Google, a role he holds since 2025, and has a current affiliation with Isomorphic Labs. His research spans graph neural networks and machine learning for structural and biological data.

From the biography.

  1. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other universityIncludes Andreas Loukas. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology trained or employed 44 of the 187 AI major-prize winners, more than any other university. We compare doctorate and 5+ year employment links, career timing and current workplaces for 187 major-prize and 1,111 best-paper winners.
  2. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Includes Google. Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
  3. Google has the highest combined h-index among AI organizationsIncludes Google. We estimate that Google holds the highest combined h-index at 8,016, while universities account for 73% of the deduplicated total across AI organizations.
  4. 20% of people at companies who shape AI also hold a university role, led by Google and Stanford UniversityIncludes Google. We estimate that 539 of the 6,766 people with a known current organization (8%) hold both a university role and a company role, including 20% of people at companies and 13% of people at universities.
