Rui Wang

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry (SCCPC) at New York University. Prior to this, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University, working with Prof. Guowei Wei. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, and an Applied Mathematics Ph.D. from Michigan State University.

My research focuses on innovating mathematical models to describe biological processes and design vaccines/treatments by leveraging machine learning (ML) tools. My interests include computational topology and graphs, mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, RNA motif design, drug discovery, protein-peptide docking prediction, and genomics analysis.
