Chang-Yu Hsieh

Professor Chang-Yu (Kim) Hsieh is interested in computational science and interdisciplinary research, working at the interface of theoretical physics, quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and drug discovery. He is currently the QiuShi Engineering Professor at the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhejiang University. His research centers on developing computational algorithms to simulate molecular interactions and accelerate the rational design of bioactive molecules, addressing the challenges of declining efficiency in pharmaceutical R&D. Before joining Zhejiang University, he led the Theory Division at Tencent Quantum Lab in Shenzhen, where he focused on integrating AI and quantum simulation for drug and material discovery. Previously, he conducted postdoctoral research in the Department of Chemistry at MIT and the University of Toronto. Although his research focus has evolved from fundamental theory toward practical applications, his central interest remains to develop innovative computational algorithms for modeling physical phenomena.
