About Me

🎯 I am an incoming Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University working with Dr. Jianing Li, having recently completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Vermont under the supervision of Dr. Safwan Wshah. My academic background also includes an M.Sc. from UC Santa Cruz (2020) and a B.Sc. from Michigan State University (2017).

📚 My current research centers on AI for drug discovery, including de novo antimicrobial peptide design. Alongside this focus, I remain deeply engaged with generative modeling and computer vision, specifically exploring diffusion models, diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs), visual geo-localization, and remote sensing. Always open to new collaborations! Please feel free to reach out! 😃
