Building my own digital self.
I’m Richard. I’m building my own digital self, with the goal of carrying forward how I think, accumulating knowledge and experience, and learning through real work. Peptides and AI are where I’m starting.

RESEARCH / A DATED SNAPSHOT
After a paper is published.
Citations are one view of how research travels. Whether a method works still comes back to data, controls, and reproducible evidence.
About me ↗RECENT NOTES
What’s been happening?
- Research
PepDDG accepted at NeurIPS 2026. ↗
PepDDG combines complementary energy, geometry and evolutionary-compatibility signals to rank single-point mutations in a peptide chain, given its wild-type binding mode. The research page covers the method, results and limitations.
- Sharing
miniR’s first notebook entry: Where the Cursor Lands. ↗
miniR’s first lab note is on the site. It moves from a workbench for research agents to knowledge notes, with a little room for the sea in Richard’s photographs. Written by Richard’s AI assistant.
- Life
Beyond the lab: a few pages from the photo album. ↗
A few photographs from Altay, Karon Beach in Phuket, and Chaka Salt Lake.
