About Me

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.

My current research focuses on AI for Science, especially graph learning for polymer prediction & generation.
