Research and STEM Activities

Currently applying causal inference to optimize counterfactual explanations of tumor spatial proteomes to discover novel therapeutic strategies for enhancing t-cell infiltration, developing bio-inspired AI systems and novel cancer therapeutics under the supervision of Professor Matt Thomson... Led efforts in developing the thalamus-based Herd router for routing open-source large language models... Formalized a visual grammar using graph neural networks to understand patterns in various modalities... Architected a novel retrieval-augmented generation framework inspired by the hippocampal memory indexing theory... Worked as a research assistant at National Taiwan University’s Systems Biology Epithelia Lab, where he designed a lethal Zika virus-driven plasmid for transgenic mosquitoes, expressing a hybrid neurotoxin upon Zika infection; integrated a protein BLAST search engine to identify sequence alignments in the lab’s online databases.
