I am a Ph.D. student at Peking University, where I explore applications of artificial intelligence in the life sciences under the supervision of Prof. Xingwang Deng and Prof. Hang He. I currently lead the CropAI project.
Previously, I earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Engineering and Agronomy from Yuan Longping College at Southwest University, where I received interdisciplinary training across computing and plant science.

CropAI (pronounced Cro-pAI, where "pAI" echoes Π, symbolizing mathematical and quantitative modeling; "Crop" spans cross-disciplinary and crop) explores modeling and computable problems in life sciences through a quantitative lens, toward multi-scale life design. We work at the intersection of genomics, multi-omics, virtual cells, and artificial plant life design.
In development
PLANeT-AI is dedicated to plants on this planet. We explore the mysteries of plant science through the lens of AI and AI4S — interpreting, decoding, and sharing cutting-edge discoveries from multi-disciplinary perspectives.
