Bio

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University, working with Prof. Weiying Ma and Prof. Hao Zhou. My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and materials science, with the goal of accelerating the discovery of novel materials for clean energy and climate change mitigation. My recent work has focused on materials generation [ICLR'25, ChemRxiv'24], materials property prediction [AI4MAT-ICLR'25, AI4MAT-ICLR'25].

Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. at Nanjing University under the supervision of Prof. Xinyu Dai, where I worked on open-environment natural language processing, with a particular focus on out-of-distribution detection [ACL'23, COLING'22, ACL'21] and natural language understanding [EMNLP'23, IJCAI'21, ACL'20]. During my Ph.D., I also interned at the Bytedance AI Lab.

I am currently on the job market, and welcome opportunities to contribute to research at the intersection of AI and scientific discovery. Please find my CV attached.
