Biography

I am a fourth-year CS Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Prof. Jing Zhang. Previously, I graduated from the College of Control Science and Technology, Zhejiang University.

My main research goal is to develop trustworthy computational methods to understand single-cell gene regulation, especially in spatial contexts, and their contributions to various diseases.

Outside my research, I am also a bodybuilder, having competed in NPC men’s physique and been certified as a personal trainer by ACE.
