This is ZZF (朱泽峰). I am a first year Ph.D. student at AAIS, Peking University.

My involvement in science lies in the study of biomacromolecule structures. I am passionate to explore the underlying mechanisms of the molecular world with mathematical tools and physical insights. And I am stepping toward utilizing the advantages of (deep) learning methods to build physically interpretable models of protein folding, conformation changes, protein binding, and so on. These problems involve:

  • deal with high-dimensional functions/distributions
    • geometric representations of amino acids and other molecules in both local and global perspective
    • generative modeling as well as efficient sampling methods of such distributions
    • discriminative modeling to distinguish decision boundaries for biological functions
  • physical understanding of sophisticated systems
    • formulations
    • invariance
    • thermodynamic stability
    • kinetic accessibility
    • symmetry
