Research Interest
My current research focuses on protein structure algorithms, specifically
protein structure idealization, neighbor protein structure retrieval and remote
protein structure alignment, supervised by Dr. Ming Li at University of Waterloo.
I am also interested generally in computational biology, pattern recognition,
machine learning and algorithms.
