- Please consider to submit to our special issue on Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics: Physics-informed machine learning for biomechanics and bio-fluid dynamics. The deadline is May 31, 2024.
- I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Dr. Daniel Lingwood, Dr. Hernandez Moura-Silva, and Dr. Charles Evavold at Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard. I am also working with Dr. Douglas A Lauffenburger at MIT. I was advised by Dr. Galit Alter before October 2022 (now the Vice President of Immunology Research at Moderna).
- Before joining the Ragon Institute, I completed my Ph.D. study in School of Engineering at Brown University, advised by Dr. George Em Karniadakis in 2021. I received my B.Eng. degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2015.
- My current research interest is in integrating knowledge-driven and data-driven computational models to probe the mechanisms of diseases and effectiveness of therapeutics by leveraging data acquired from bench to bedside and existing biological/medical knowledge, for example, diabetes in endocrinology and infectious diseases in immunology.
