Research Interests

My research lies at the intersection of computational biology, artificial intelligence, and biomedical data science, with a focus on developing computational methods to advance our understanding of protein structure and function, molecular interactions, and mechanisms of human disease. Building on my interdisciplinary background in chemistry, structural bioinformatics, and molecular biology, I have developed widely used methods and software tools for protein structure prediction, functional annotation, an...
