About Me

I am a first-year Computer Science PhD Student at University of California, Berkeley, advised by Aditi Krishnapriyan. I revived my B.Sc. with distinction in Data Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University, where I was mentored by Dongmian Zou and Kai Zhang. I also worked as a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia, Shanghai AI/ML Group led by Dongsheng Li.

My research interest mainly falls on Geometric Deep Learning and AI for Science. I also have experience in LLMs, sequence modeling, and graph neural networks. In general, I am interested in combining ideas from mathematics with machine learning, and using machine learning to solve interdisciplinary problems.
