About

Hey there! I'm currently a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Technology at Tongji University, supervised by Prof. Guang Chen, the head of the Generalist Embodied AI Lab. My research focuses on AI4Science, with specific interests in (1) drug discovery, (2) generative models, and (3) reinforcement learning.
