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 trying new cafes and restaurants, reading, practicing taekwondo, and consuming Korean media. I’m also learning to blog and slowly finding my content fit. Right now, I want to learn more about VC, protein design, geometric deep learning, food as medicine, foreign languages, world modeling, and digital humans.

Say hi at artliang [at] mit [dot] edu, I’m always looking for good reads!

Currently, I

• study Computer Science and Neuroscience and Mathematics at MIT.
• research with Manolis Kellis’s group and Tommi S. Jaakkola’s group @ CSAIL, investigating protein representational learning, protein structure-language latent embeddings, and controlled protein generation with flow matching, diffusion, and language models.
• cook for people and throw themed pop-ups around campus with MIT MINCE.
• train and compete with MIT Sport Taekwondo, also serve(d) as Tournament Coordinator and Social Chair.
• volunteer as an Emergency Medical Technician as part of MIT EMS.

Previously, I

• interned at Altera, building digital human beings that care about people.
• 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.
• served as the Operations Lead for MIT Hacking Medicine, helping to organize healthcare hackathons like our annual flagship Grand Hack.
• 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
