UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
B.S in College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering; Peking University,
1998, P. R. China
CURRENT STUDIES:
Graduate Student in Chemistry
CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research is focused on the structure and thermodynamics of water in
nanotubes, fullerenes and nonpolar cavities including proteins using
Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations.
I also worked on improved force fields for water in open and confined systems
