Research Snapshot

Our publications span 2011–2026, from transport phenomena and nanoscale materials to AI for scientific discovery, robotics, manufacturing, and biology. These connected themes offer a guide to the chronological bibliography below.

Nanoscale Transport, Membranes, and Sensing. Early studies of water transport in carbon nanotubes (2011) and DNA sensing with MoS₂ (2014) led to work on nanopore desalination (2015), thermal transport, and AI-guided membrane design.

Physical Modeling and Scientific Discovery. From deep learning of transport phenomena (2017) to flexible PDE learning with OFormer (2023), scalable modeling with FactFormer (NeurIPS 2023), and equation discovery with LLM-SR (ICLR 2025).

Materials and Molecular Discovery. Learning useful molecular and materials representations through MolCLR (2022), MOFormer (2023), and TransPolymer (2023); extending prediction toward generation with MOFGPT (2025) and autonomous search with Adsorb-Agent (2026).

Robotics and Embodied Learning. Learning perception and manipulation policies for deformable objects, including robotic clay sculpting; connecting language-guided planning in LLM-Craft (2025) with visuo-tactile policy pretraining in VITaL (ICRA 2025).

AI for Manufacturing. Linking process understanding to control: MeltpoolNet (2022) predicts melt-pool characteristics, LLM-3D Print (2025) uses feedback for printer control, and Image2Gcode (2026) translates images into manufacturing toolpaths.

Biology and Health. Connecting molecular simulation and protein modeling with biological applications—from machine learning for molecular dynamics (2020) and airway organoids (2022) to protein language models, AgentD drug-discovery workflows (2026), and recent airway-organoid research (2026).
