Research summary
AI-generated

Xiang Liu works on developing mathematical and machine-learning tools—particularly methods from topology (the study of shapes and connectivity, such as persistent homology) and graph-based deep learning—to analyze complex biological data. Applications include predicting how strongly drugs or proteins bind to their targets, studying protein and RNA structure, and analyzing biomedical and other structured data more broadly. The publication record also includes some more applied or unrelated engineering projects, such as noise detection in electric machines and image-based positioning systems.
