Experience

Research Assistant at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital

From Feb 2021 to Dec 2021, Guangzhou, China

  • Trained a GBDT model to predict pathogenic gene mutation using sklearn.
  • Automated scientific computation environment configuration and migration on the Linux HPC cluster through the development of python and Bash scripts.

LLM Engineer at Salomatic

From Aug 2023 to Dec 2023, Remote, Canada

  • Created a health consultant system enhanced by Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), integrating Large Language Models (LLM) with a vector database.
  • The consultant system can answer medical questions without hallucination, based on verified scientific research.

Research Assistant at UBC

From Sep 2022, Vancouver, Canada

  • My research involves applying machine learning and deep learning in the field of metabolomics. Initially, I developed BreathXplorer, a cutting-edge bioinformatics tool designed for analyzing breath data obtained through high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). This tool significantly enhances the examination of complex biological samples. Now I'm working on a project to predict metabolite structure using transformer architecture, which may facilitate drug discovery in the future.
  • On the same time, I also worked as the system administrator in the lab. I set up on-premise HPC clusters in the laboratory, including RAID array configuration and backup solutions using NAS. And utilized Docker for environment virtualization for web deployment, big data pipelines, and deep learning.
