Eric Suh

Eric Suh has a diverse work experience spanning from 2004 to the present. In 2004, they were an Undergraduate Researcher at Harvard University and Brigham and Women's Hospital, where they synthesized artificial amino acid helical peptide inhibitors of signal peptide peptidase and alkyl-bridge stabilized helical peptide inhibitors of gamma secretase. From 2005 to 2007, they were a Teaching Fellow and Undergraduate Researcher at Harvard University, where they contributed to studies towards the total syntheses of three complex natural product molecules in the organic chemistry laboratory of David A. Evans. From 2007 to 2013, they were a Graduate Student Researcher and Teaching Assistant at Princeton University, where they developed algorithms combining supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques to find most predictive features in time series gene expression data. From 2013 to 2020, they worked at Dropbox in various roles, including Staff Engineer, Tech Lead, Sharing, and Engineering Manager, Cloud Docs. In this role, they led a full-stack team and managed 12-team collaboration to ship cross-platform integrations, scaled an initial team of 5 engineers into two teams totaling 13 people in one year, and introduced a company-wide engineering review process. Eric also built a company-wide dev/CI framework that improved build reproducibility. Currently, Eric Suh is a Software Engineer at Descript.

Eric Suh attended Isidore Newman High School from 1999 to 2003. Eric then went on to Harvard University, where they earned a B.A. and M.A. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from 2003 to 2007. Eric continued their education at Princeton University, where they obtained a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Quantitative Computational Biology from 2007 to 2013.
