Aug 2025: Friends, I’m thrilled to invite you to my public dissertation talk, “Decoding the Language of Genomes: Bridging Sequences and Function through Deep Learning” on August 25th. Hope to see you there!

Jul 2025: Our OpenSpliceAI paper is now live in eLife—an open‑source PyTorch framework for fast, modular splice‑site prediction, transfer learning, and variant‑effect scoring! Check out the GitHub and docs.

Jun 2025: Thrilled to share that the JHU Computer Science Department has spotlighted LiftOn—our new tool for accurate cross-species genome annotation transfer—in their news article: Solving the Bottleneck in Genome Biology.

Apr 2025: Excited to present the overview of protein language models (PLM) and OpenCRISPR at Hopkins Deep Learning in Genomics Study Group! Check out my slides.

Apr 2025: OpenSpliceAI, SPLAM, and LiftOn are now featured on the JHU Open Source Programs Office (OSPO)! We’re excited that these projects have been added to the OSPO catalog.

Apr 2025: Honored to deliver my recipient talk for the Mark O. Robbins Prize at HPC 2025. It was a privilege to connect with fellow computing experts. Check out my Slides.
