I’m a senior at UIUC majoring in computer science, working at Molecule Maker Lab Institute, advised by Prof. Jiawei Han. I’m also working with Prof. Tal August on automatic language adaption in cross-domain communication.

I am generally interested in AI for scientific discovery, with a particular focus on drug discovery and healthcare. I’m also interested in bridging communication gaps between knowledge intensive domains.

In the past, I have interned at Pfizer working on post-market antibiotics synthesis optimization. Before that, I worked on preclinical development of immunotherapy for colorectal cancer at Western Michigan University.

Some topics I’m currently working on:

• Fine-grained information retrieval for scientific literature
• Language augmentation in cross-domain communication
• Intelligent reading system to make clinical documents informative to non-professionals
