Since 2022, I have been  Senior Director of Bioinformatics at Genecast Corp Ltd. From 2015, I have been a Principal Investigator and Director of Bioinformatics at Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (SIMM) Chinese Academy of Sciences. My interest is developing fast and accurate models, algorithms, distributed computing platforms, and larg-scale databases in bioinformatics. 

I was formerly a bioinformatics scientist at Illumina Inc (San Diego site), and PostDoc with Prof. Nelson Freimer at Human Genetics, UCLA. I completed my Ph.D. in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at USC, working primarily on statistical methods in association mapping and population genetics of Arabidopsis thaliana, under the supervision of Magnus Nordborg. I had also worked on gene function/network inference graph theory algorithms. In July 2003, I received B.S. of Biology from Fudan University.  Fascinated with computers since I tested my first BASIC program on an Intel-8088 PC in my 8th grade, I learnt C/C++, PostgreSQL, Java, Python, and everything about Linux in my undergraduate. Being in a PhD program founded by a mathematician (M.S. Waterman), I learnt all I can about statistics and probability.
