I’m Arthur and I love learning and building. I’m interested in medicine, particularly using machine learning to advance therapeutics and procedures for remedying neurological diseases.

I love cafe hopping, reading, practicing taekwondo, and consuming Korean media. I’m also a beginner blogger currently still trying to find my content fit. Right now, I want to learn more about VC, geometric deep learning, foreign languages, and digital humans.

Say hi at artliang [at] mit [dot] edu, I’d love to chat!

Currently, I

• study Computer Science and Neuroscience and Mathematics at MIT.
• research with Tommi S. Jaakkola’s group and Manolis Kellis’s group @ CSAIL, investigating protein structure-language latent embeddings and controlled protein generation with flow matching, diffusion, and language models.
• intern at Altera, building digital human beings that care about people.
• volunteer as an Emergency Medical Technician as part of MIT EMS.
• train and compete with MIT Sport Taekwondo, also serve(d) as Tournament Coordinator and Social Chair.
• serve as the Operations Lead for MIT Hacking Medicine, helping to organize healthcare hackathons like our annual flagship Grand Hack.

Previously, I

• interned as a machine learning researcher with the AI team at Boeing Korea (BKETC) where I built an RL agent for tail swapping and implemented large vision models for expediting inspection procedures.
• spent two winter breaks developing and delivering hands-on workshops on biology, neuroscience, and medicine exemplifying MIT’s mens et manus motto to high schoolers at Korea International School as part of MIT MISTI Global Teaching Labs.
• worked as an undergraduate researcher with the MetaConscious Group @ MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences on building more biologically-plausible neural network architectures with realistic visual inputs for experimental neuroscience tasks.
• got my start with research in high school, where I got my feet wet with experimental neuroscience and pharmacology, and winning awards at ISEF
