I am currently a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I received my Ph.D. in Automation from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Shao Li.

My research lies at the intersection of Bioinformatics, Artificial Intelligence, and Computational Biomedicine, with a particular focus on:

  • AI-driven drug discovery and network pharmacology
  • Protein design and mutation effect prediction
  • CRISPR system optimization and engineering

I develop computational frameworks that integrate multi-omics data, deep learning (MLP, GNNs, LLMs), and structural biology to uncover biological mechanisms and accelerate therapeutic innovation.

My work aims to bridge large-scale biological data and mechanistic understanding, enabling interpretable and scalable solutions for precision medicine and synthetic biology.
