Academic Interests

  • Geometric Deep Learning for Molecules
    • Geometric Deep Learning for Biomolecules. Combined amino acid sequence information, three-dimensional coordinate information, and phylogenetic information to build a large-scale model on protein structure prediction and protein-protein interaction prediction.
    • Equivariant Graph Neural Network for Operator Learning. Leveraged the group theoretical results of irreducible representations to build a model equivariant to 3D rigid transformations on continuous input and output. Achieved state-of-the-art results on various equivariant tasks.

Other Interests

  • I've passed the Tenth Grade in Piano of China.
  • I won the first prize in National Chemistry Olympiad of China in 2015.
  • I play mobile-based rhythm games including Cytus, Cytus II, Muse Dash, Deemo, Deemo II, and BanG Dream!, though my skills are still at a newbie level (っ °Д °;)っ.
