As an academic with fourteen years of rigorous training in the interdisciplinary field of chemical physics, I have gained extensive experience in multiple facets of biophysics and computational chemistry. My educational background includes a B.S. in Chemical and an M.S. in Biochemistry from Beijing Normal University, China. Following that, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemical Physics at The University of Queensland (UQ) with Prof.
Alan Mark. During my time at UQ, I performed Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation study of systems varieties in size and complexity, from small molecule of important antibiotic vancomycin to large membrane reshaping protein-complexes like PX/Bar proteins. After graduation from UQ, I spent ten years as a postdoctoral associate/senior research fellow in the group of Prof.
Chen at the Kansas State University (K-state) and the University of Massachusetts Amherst (Umass). My research within Prof. Chen's lab primarily focused on enhanced sampling of protein dynamics and aggregation, as well as the exploration of membrane protein transporters. My work also involved in intense parameterization of small molecules and characterize interactions between small molecules with proteins.
