Mass spectrometry (MS) is the key experimental method for large-scale protein identification. My research contributes to the technologies for mass spectra data analysis. To be more specific, my research is to develop algorithms and softwares to identify tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra.
I'm currently research on crosslinking proteomics, which means chemical crosslinking coupled with mass spectrometry. With CXMS, protein structure and protein interaction can be effectively studied.

pXtract, a software to creates .DTA、.MGF and .MS2 input files directly from Thermo Scientific .raw LC-MS/MS data files.

pLink, a software dedicated for the analysis of chemically cross-linked proteins or protein complexes using mass spectrometry.

I received my bachelor's degree in Department of Software Engineering in 2009 from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

I am currently studying for master's degree in Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Scineses, and supervised by associate professor Ruixiang Sun at Institute of Computing Technology.
