I am a Computer Scientist with a Ph.D. in Computational Biology, with a passion for applying Machine Learning and other AI strategies to study viruses and genomes. I am currently CEO at AKEDA and actively collaborating with the Unit of Discovery and Molecular Characterization of Pathogens, Centre for Microbes Development and Health (Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai). I have been a lecturer at HMU (Centre for Infection and Genomics) at Harbin for seven years, making research on the genomics/bioinformatics field as a computer science expert. I conducted research on genomic breast cancer, ovarian cancer, salmonella virulence and differentiation, schizophrenia, and SARS-CoV-2. I developed a protocol for the computational analysis of microRNA, conducted gene expression analyses, gene network predictions, protein predictions, developed scripts for biological analysis, etc. I love computational virology, immune system modeling, and my family.
