I am a 3rd-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department of the University of Connecticut, advised by Prof. Jinbo Bi.

From 2021 to 2023, I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Kuaishou Co. in the group of personalized ads marketing.

Before that, I obtained a master’s degree of science in computer science from Rutgers University in 2021. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), advised by Prof. Linli Xu.

During my undergraduate and master’s studies, I worked on generative models for NLP. I later gained practical experience in data mining and recommendation systems through industry research.

My current research focuses on 3D generative models and drug discovery.
