I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Department of Biosciences, Rice University. My research area of interests are protein folding, molecular dynamics, deep learning, and general computational biology problems.

I completed my Bachelor degree in Biosciences in 2017 from Zhejiang University.

Beyond the research, I like playing the piano, badminton, diving, plant identification, and traveling.
