I’m a Ph.D. student from College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, fortunately advised by Professor Yang Yang at Zhejiang University. I also work closely with Professor Chenhao Tan at the University of Chicago and Professor Meng Li at Chinese Academy of Sciences. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University. My research interests are AI for science, agentic systems for scientific discovery, large-scale pretraining, time series analysis, and other cutting-edge AI technologies. My study mainly focuses on utilizing AI techniques to solve problems in fields such as healthcare and neuroscience.
