Hello! I’m a senior undergraduate at USC studying computer science. I am a student researcher at Liang’s Lab, advised by Prof. Liang Chen, and at FORTIS Lab, advised by Prof. Yue Zhao. I also work closely with Prof. Tianfan Fu and Prof. Tea Jashashvili.

Additionally, I’m a visiting student at Westlake University, working with Jun Xia under the supervision of Prof. Stan Z. Li.

My research focuses on developing machine learning methods for biomedical applications, with key areas including:

• ML models for biomedical discovery: Developing geometric and generative models for biological tasks such as de novo peptide sequencing, gene perturbation, drug-target interaction, etc.
• ML systems: Designing and building ML systems that make these discoveries efficient, reliable, and trustworthy.
• Automating scientific research: Using LLM agents to streamline and automate scientific research workflows.
