Zelun is a visiting member of the Cell Ethology Lab at the Interdisciplinary Studies Centre, Westlake University. Before that, he double-majored in Advanced Science (Honours) and Computer Science at the University of New South Wales. His research interest lies in decoding the complex regulatory systems of living organisms — all in pursuit of the bold, slightly mischievous dream of rationally and holistically designing life (a.k.a. playing God). When he's not poking at the secrets of biology, Zelun is probably off the grid — hiking up a mountain, hopping on a plane, or getting tapped out in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training.

▎Biological Regulatory Mechanism

Jiahao Zhang is a senior undergraduate student in Electrical Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He enjoys exploring the intersection of AI and science, with research interests spanning protein language models, temporal inference of cellular micro-environments, and the modeling and inversion of physical flow fields. Passionate about applying machine learning to real-world scientific challenges, he hopes to teach machines how to “understand” the workings of biology and physics. Outside of research, Jiahao enjoys fitness and badminton—a curious mind with an active lifestyle.
