I am a Professor in the College of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at Hunan University.

I received my Ph.D. in 2017 from the China University of Mining and Technology and Oklahoma State University. From 2018 to 2020, I served as an Research Assistant Professor at Osaka Prefecture University (now Osaka Metropolitan University) in Japan. I joined Hunan University as an Associate Professor in 2020 and was promoted to Professor in 2025.

My research interests include AI4Science, multi-objective intelligent optimization, and drug discovery. I have published over 60 papers in leading journals and conferences. I have led four national-level projects—including the NSFC Young Scientists Fund (Category B) [formerly the Excellent Young Scientists Fund]—as well as two provincial-level projects.
