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
