Ed Wagstaff contributed to the prescient-design/lobster repository by developing and integrating advanced deep learning models for protein structure generation. He implemented ModernBERT and FlexBERT architectures, optimizing embedding layers and training pipelines to improve experiment traceability and model flexibility. Using Python, PyTorch, and YAML, Ed refined configuration management and enabled pre-computed input embeddings, allowing for more efficient and configurable model training. He also addressed data integrity by correcting PDB generation for chain identifiers and residue numbering, updating tests to ensure accuracy. Ed’s work demonstrated depth in model integration, configuration, and code quality, supporting robust experimentation and future development.
