Jiahan Li Ced

Logo B.S., Peking University (2023)

Hi, my name is Jiahan Li (李嘉涵), but you can also call me Ced. I earned my B.S. degree from Yuanpei College at Peking University in 2023. I also worked as an R&D scientist at an AI biotech startup for three years.

My research interests lie at the intersection of generative models and geometric learning. Currently, I am focusing on molecular design, discrete generation, and equivariant models. I am also interested in multi-modal large language models and causal reasoning.

I love music and work as a hip-hop producer.
