About

A little about me

I'm a direct PhD candidate at Zhejiang University specializing in bioinformatics, with a deep engineering focus on NLP and large language model systems. My research sits where computational biology meets modern AI — from RNA language model fine-tuning and knowledge distillation, to building full-stack RAG-powered applications and custom NPU operators.

Before the PhD, I led the ZJU iGEM team to a Global TOP10 Gold Medal, published a first-author-listed paper in Brief Bioinformatics (IF 11.6), and built multiple campus products as a full-stack developer.

Outside of code and research, I'm a CATTI Level 3 interpreter, a former campus MC (bronze 🥉), "Top 10 Singer" at Zhukezhen College, and vocal director of ZJU's musical theatre troupe. I believe good communication is a superpower — in engineering and everywhere else.
