AI for Protein | AI for Drug Discovery
I am currently a Master’s student in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, supervised by Prof. Yang Zhang and Dr. Zhiyuan Liu.
My research interests lie at the intersection of AI and the life sciences, with a particular focus on AI for Proteins (including protein evolution, design, and structure prediction) and AI for Drug Discovery (especially structure-based drug design).
I have been fortunate to gain research experience at several leading institutions. At the University of Florida , I worked with Prof. Yanjun Li ; at Rice University , I was mentored by Prof. Han Xiao ; and at Caltech , I collaborated with Dr. Sijie Ji . Before I came to NUS, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Information Engineering from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
