I am currently a senior scientist at Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Singapore. I completed my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in Mar 2020 from University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Ivor Tsang during my PhD study.

My research interests include (Non)parametric Clustering, Generative AI, AI for Science & Healthcare.

Internship Opportunity: Seeking self-motivated students passionate about AI in scientific applications, such as inverse generative design for proteins, RNA 3D structure predication and evaluation.
For self-funded visiting students (e.g., CSC program from China), additional top-up is provided for those who contribute to my AI for science project.
