Educations:

• Graduated from Physics Department, Northeast Normal University in July of 1984.
• Ph. D. Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry in Dec. of 1990 

Research Interests:

The numerical calculation and computer simulation in macromolecular (including biomacromolecules) physics, macromolecular chemistry and chemical engineering. Methods used include Monte Carlo simulation (MC), Molecular Dynamic simulation (MD), Self-Consistent Field Theory (SCFT) and Dynamic Density Functional Theory (DDFT). Current projects are as following:

• Folding and design of Proteins or heteropolymers 
• Phase transition of a sing heteropolymer chain or protein in solutions
• Self-assembly of block copolymers in solutions and melt
• Design of polymer nanomaterials
• Simulations in chemical reaction engineering (e.g. Chemical reaction in Continue-Stirred Tank Reaction (CSTR))
