Bio

I am currently a 4th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Texas A&M University. My advisor is Prof. Shuiwang Ji, who leads the Data Integration, Visualization, and Exploration (DIVE) Laboratory. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Peking University in 2020, advised by Prof. Jiaying Liu. Here is my résumé.

My research interests are machine learning and AI for Science topics. Specifically, I am currently working on (1) LLM and graph geometric learning, (2) AI for science, and (3) generative modeling.
