I’m a second-year PhD student from CSE, University of Notre Dame. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Meng Jiang and working in DM2: Data Mining towards Decision Making lab.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Southeast University, China, in 2021. I was selected as the MS Honors Students at Columbia University in Spring 2022 and graduated with the Master of Science Award of Excellence in 2023.

My current research focuses on AI for Science, 1) Graph learning for polymer informatics, 2) Model reasoning for material discovery.
