My research interest is AI-assisted longevity research. I envision a future where longevity research is aided by AI research agents and cloud wet labs. 🧬

I'm currently fascinated by these research questions:

  • Longevity: How well do DNAm foundation models work?
  • AI research agents: Where do AI research agents fail in research ideation and experimentation?

I’m a PhD student at NUS Medicine, advised by Dianbo Liu. I hold a Master of Computing (AI) from NUS, advised by Harold Soh, and a BEng (ISTD) from SUTD.

Outside of research, I make music (alongside playing piano and singing) for emotional wellbeing (mentored by Melvin Goh) and participate in my local Plum Village community for spiritual wellbeing. šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
