About me

My name is Gufeng Yu from Yueyang, Hunan. I’m currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, advised by Prof. Yang Yang. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2023.

My research interest is AI for Science. Specifically, the main research areas are the application of AI in genomics and organic chemistry. Examples include gene regulatory network reconstruction, cancer genomics and chemical reaction prediction.
