摘 要：

The overall goal of my research program is to develop and apply computational tools for rational molecular design. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in targeting protein-protein interactions, developing machine-learning based protein-ligand scoring functions, and exploring deep learning models to accurately predict molecular energies with force-field optimized geometries.
