Shaoning Li

I'm now a first-year PhD at The Chinese University of Hongkong (CUHK) supervised by Prof. Pheng Ann Heng. Before that, I spent one year at Mila - Québec AI Institute supervised by Prof. Jian Tang. I received my B.S. from Beihang University advised by Prof. Hao Peng.

I served as a research intern at Microsoft Research AI4Science supervised by Dr. Bin Shao from Feb 2022 to Jun 2023, and I worked in BioGeometry targetting on de novo antibody design from Jun 2023 to Jun 2024.

Research Topics

I'm interested in AI4Science, typically in protein structure prediction (AF2/3), de novo protein design, molecular dynamics, machine learning force fields, protein ligand docking, etc. Representative papers are highlighted. If you are interested in these topics, please feel free to contact me.
