Yuhui Hong
Postdoctoral Scholar at Noble Lab (2025 - Present)
University of Washington
Advised by Professor William Stafford Noble
Ph.D. in
Indiana University Bloomington
Advised by Professor Haixu Tang
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington, specializing in
During my PhD studies, I developed computational approaches to overcome limitations in small molecule identification. My work focused on moving beyond traditional database-dependent methods by predicting LC-MS/MS spectra and molecular properties from 3D conformations to establish reference libraries for unknown compounds, and by identifying chemical formulas directly from spectra. I also applied deep learning methods to optimize experimental condition settings, improving the efficiency and accuracy of mass spectrometry workflows.
I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Xidian University, and worked as a research assistant in computer vision at Xi'an Jiaotong University. I then transitioned to computational biology to apply my technical expertise to questions with direct implications for human health.
