Hi! I’m a second-year PhD student in Computer Science under the guidance of Dr. Lei Xie at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. My research delves into the intersection of artificial intelligence, biology, and chemistry, aiming to address critical challenges in drug discovery and computational sciences.

Current Research Interests

• Uncertainty Quantification for AI-based Drug Discovery: Exploring methods to enhance reliability and safety in AI models applied to drug discovery.
• Multi-modal Representation Learning for Proteins and Chemicals: Developing models to integrate diverse biological and chemical data and correlate these models to actual biological insights.
• Out-of-Distribution Generalization for Drug Discovery: Ensuring AI models perform effectively even on data distributions beyond their training sets for improved applicability in real-world.
