I’m a cross-disciplinary learner. My research interests span over the fields of biochemical engineering, bioinformatics, molecular modeling and computational biology.
Hi, my name is
About Me
I am currently working on a project that involves the application of supervised machine learning methods to the selection of representative protein conformations from ensembles generated from molecular simulation.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- Pytorch, Scikit-learn
- GROMACS
- RDKit, MDAnalysis
- pymol, VMD
- R, RShiny, ggplot2
- Ruby on Rails
Experience
I am a UKRI-funded PhD student in artificial intelligence for drug discovery (AIDD), software developer and demonstrator in London, UK. I am currently working on a project that invovles building a deep-learning model to extract the significant conformations from the molecular dynamics trajectory [projects].
- Demonstrator: CHE209 (python), BIO213 (planarian regeneration), SEF032 (enzymology of β-galactosidase with absorbance spectrometry; extracting DNA from kiwi fruit) (2024 spring)
I was a undergraduate research student in Taipei, Taiwan (Sep 2019 - Jun 2021).
- Topics: whey protein fibril application on emulsion stability [project].
I was a master research student and teaching assistant (Jun 2021 - Apr 2023).

FastEval Parkinsonism
Parkinsonism is a medical condition characterized by tremors, slow movement (bradykinesia), stiffness, and difficulty with balance.
Our tool offers a video-based solution for users self-assess the likelihood of Parkinsonism.

Whey Protein Fibril Microcapsules
This study investigated the stability and antioxidant properties of bilayer microcapsules made from acidic/alkaline polysaccharide–whey protein isolate fibrils (WPF) containing β-carotene, under acidic conditions.
