I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Prior to that I was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan working with Prof. Guo-Wei Wei. I have my Ph.D. at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas in 2019, advised by Prof. Weihua Geng.
My studies consist of deep learning, mathematical studies, biology applications, and numerical algorithm developments. I am interested in developing topological and geometric data analysis methods for biology applications at molecular level, and the integration with deep learning and numerical methods. For biology, I am interested in problems of energy predictions of protein-protein interaction (PPI) and energy change predictions of PPI induced by mutations. In addition, I am also interested in fast computing of fast multipole methods (FMM), Treecode, parallel computing, and GPU accelerated computing.
For students, who are interested in my research, please feel free to contact me.
Current Funding Support:
I am currently supported by NSF-DMS 2514195 and NIH-R01 AI164266.
My main research interests:
- Topological and geometric Data Analysis
- Treecode and Fast Multipole Method
- Machine Learning/Deep Learning
- Numerical PDB; Boundary Element Method
- Protein-Protein Interaction and Mutation Impacts
- SARS-CoV-2 virus, vaccine, and antibodies
