  Research Assistant

  Center for Quantitative Biology, PKU



Education:

2014-2018  B.E. in Pharmaceutical Engineering, Tianjin University

2018-2023  Ph.D. in Integrated Life Sciences, Peking University


Research interests:

My research focuses on the design of biologically inspired AI architectures and the development of foundational digital twin models spanning scales from single cells to whole individuals. With a particular emphasis on aging, I aim to uncover cross-scale spatiotemporal dynamics, discover and design targeted interventions, and advance precision health management.
