About Me

 I am a research fellow in Department of Mathematics, National University of Singapore (NUS). Supervisor: Prof. Fei Han. I received the Ph.D. degree in the College of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, Hunan University (HNU), P. R. China. Supervisor: Prof. Jiawei Luo. I received funding from the China Scholarship Council and studied as a visiting student at the School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University since October 2021. Supervisor: Prof. Kelin Xia. I received the Bachelor degree in College of Information and Intelligence, Hunan Agricultural University, China, in 2018. My research interests are mainly in applying topological data analysis, machine learning and graph neural networks to pharmacogenomics, biological networks and materials molecule. I have published more than 20 technical papers in refered conference proceedings and journals such as Cell Reports Methods, Briefings in Bioinformatics, Bioinformatics, JBHI, BIBM, JCIM and TCBB.

Research Interests

 My research interests are mainly in applying topological data analysis, geometric deep learning and graph neural networks to pharmacogenomics, biological networks and material molecule. Currently, I focus on the following research topics:
