I am currently a PhD student in Dr. Yufeng Shen’s lab at Department of Systems Biology, Columbia University.
I am interested in developing computational approaches to understand human disease mechanisms and fundamental biology. My past works expanded several areas including:
- Single cell spatial transcriptomics: CSOmap
- Statistical genetics: VBASS
- Missense variant effect predictions: PreMode
My future research interests include:
- Disease mechanism discovery utilizing high-throughput screening techniques and deep learning.
- Generative modeling of proteins, DNAs and RNAs.
Prior to Columbia, I got my B.S. in Integrated Science Program at Peking University with training mostly in biology, statistics and computer science. I joined Dr. Zemin Zhang’s Lab for my undergraduate thesis on developing computational methods to infer cellular spatial organization and cellular interaction from single cell genomics data, see project CSOmap.
I enjoy playing fingerstyle guitar and badminton in my free time, which both require a balance of power and control.
