Yui Tik (Andrew) Pang was born in Hong Kong and received the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Physics and Master of Philosophy in Physics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2012 and 2015, respectively. Andrew’s primary research interest lies in the field of Biophysics. However, his academic curiosity extends beyond this, as he also possesses a robust interest in Computer Science and Parallel Computing. His diverse interests allow him to approach his research from a unique interdisciplinary perspective, combining the principles of Physics and Computer Science to explore and solve complex biological problems. His latest endeavor involves integrating deep learning techniques with molecular mechanics calculations to predict novel protein conformations.
