I am a professor at School of Aerospace Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, working in the field of computational materials science with a wide range of interests in data-driven materials design and discovery. Previously I was a postdoctoral research fellow (aka PDRA) at University College London, Department of Chemistry. Trained as an experimental physicist in my undergraduate study at University of Cambridge, but gradually shifted into computational materials science/chemistry over the years.

| Oct 01, 2026 | Our new preprint “Train for Accuracy, Execute at Scale: Architecture-Preserving Inference for Equivariant Atomistic Foundation Models” is now on arXiv! We present Symmetrix-XL, an inference engine that scales pretrained MACE checkpoints to 11 million atoms on a single A100 — up to 703 million atoms across 64 GPUs — with 3–5× faster inference compared to optimized baselines, no retraining required. |
