Greetings! I am a PhD candidate and Ryan Fellow at Northwestern working with Profs. Wei Chen and James Rondinelli. I have a broad interest in AI for science, with a focus on materials design.

Before starting graduate school, I earned my BS in Materials Science and Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. As an undergraduate researcher, I worked in MaGIC at SJTU, where I developed informatics tools for high-throughput experiments. I was a summer research intern at Oxford (2018), Northwestern (2019), and MERL (2023).
