I am a professor in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Medicine. I received my Ph.D. in computer science from the Institute of Computing Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Previously, I served as an AI algorithm engineer at ByteDance, a postdoctoral scientist at Columbia University in the United States, and an Associate Professor at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
My research focuses on AI-driven protein design and drug design. I has developed the AI protein design platform “CarbonMatrix”. As the first or corresponding author, my major works have appeared in journals such as Nature Machine Intelligence (2024, 2022) and Nature Communications (2021), as well as at top AI conferences including NeuIPS (2023), ICML (two papers in 2024), and ICLR (2025). In 2022, I was selected for the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I has led two nationally funded projects under the National Natural Science Foundation of China (General Program), one institute-level project at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and one project under Shanghai’s AI Leap Plan.
I has been invited to serve as the Program Chair for a dozen of top conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, AAAI, and AISTATS, as well as associate editor of Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics (GPB).
