Excited to share that I received CSE Graduate Research Excellence Award from Texas A&M University (one per year) ! Grateful to all the support along the way from my amazing mentors, collaborators, friends and family, especially Dr. Ji @ShuiwangJi .

Registration is now open for our next AIMEDx Webinar. Excited to host @KeqiangY. Speaker: Keqiang Yan (Texas A&M University) Title: AI for Materials Discovery: Graphs, Language Models, and Agents 📅 March 3, 2025 | 11:00 AM EST Register now: shorturl.at/1BVfP #AI4Science
In our labs @MSFTResearch, as well as great labs around the world, AI is rapidly enabling advances in biomedical research, some of which are very likely to be transformative breakthroughs for human health. It's a time for nations to double-down on research support, not pull back.
Our engineer team at @MSFTResearch AI for Science is hiring a Senior Research Engineer in Berlin, Amsterdam, or Cambridge (UK). We’d love to see candidates with industry experience (or equivalent) who love infrastructure, big data, debugging, profiling, and optimization of…
Fantastic collaboration with @KeqiangY and @ShuiwangJi @HarvardDBMI
"Invariant Tokenization for Language Model Enabled Crystal Materials Generation" is featured as a conference paper at #NeurIPS2024 today. Check out the work by #KempnerInstitute's @marinkazitnik & colleagues: buff.ly/3DiUl4i
