About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Technology at Tongji University, supervised by Prof. Guang Chen, who leads the Generalist Embodied AI Lab.

My research interests lie in AI for Science (AI4Science), including drug discovery, antibody discovery, virtual cells and organs, and automated laboratories.

I am also a research intern at XtalPi, working on antibody–antigen interaction prediction and antibody design.

I welcome research collaborations and discussions across these areas. If you are interested in working together or exchanging ideas, please feel free to contact me at east@tongji.edu.cn.
