My first bioinformatics paper on adaptive gradient scaling for protein structure prediction is out in BMC Bioinformatics! It is very fun and fulfilling to work from Markov chain theory to protein and back. Joint work with Vitalii Kapitan. bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Books with good synergies!

Check out my earlier work on what I call landscape modification!

Another year: arrived at Xuzhou for the 20th Workshop on Markov processes and related topics, with a book of selected papers on popular science by Mufa Chen
