View ResearchI am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Westlake University (joint program with Zhejiang University), based in Hangzhou. My research focuses on AI for Science, especially protein language models (PLMs) and their applications in protein engineering, search, and design.
I develop large-scale models and open platforms that bridge protein sequence, structure, and function—see Research for an overview, or Publications / Google Scholar for the full list.
