Antonio Franca (full name Antonio Franca Ibáñez) is a PhD student at AITHYRA, the Research Institute for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria, where he is advised by Alexander Tong under Michael Bronstein's leadership. He holds an MPhil in Machine Learning (with Distinction) from Cambridge and a BSc in Mathematics (Cum Laude) from VU Amsterdam. His research focuses on geometric deep learning, flow-based generative models, and dynamics-informed molecular design, including work on RNA inverse folding and accelerating molecular sampling with generative models. He participated in the ML Safety Scholars (MLSS) program, where his project was a distillation of Joe Carlsmith's report "Is Power-Seeking AI an Existential Risk?", which was subsequently published on the EA Forum and LessWrong. He previously served as a teaching assistant at VU Amsterdam in courses including calculus, probability theory, and linear algebra.
