Hi! I am Chaoran Cheng, a CS Ph.D. candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am advised by Prof. Jian Peng. My research interest mainly spans geometric learning for 3D molecules. Specifically, I focus on combining 3D geometries with graph topology to build a comprehensive representation learning model for molecules, proteins, and related downstream tasks. I am also closely working with Prof. Ge Liu on protein-related generative tasks including sequence design and structure optimization.
Out of my pure personal interest, I am developing a machine-learning based automatic charter for Cytoid, a community-driven rhythm game inspired by Rayark’s games Cytus and Cytus II. The community provides many fan-made charts that can be used to train a machine learning system. This project was purely out of personal interest. Cooperation is highly welcomed.
I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in EECS, Peking University, before which I also spent my freshman year studying chemistry.
