Biography
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Groningen and subsequently undertook two years of postdoctoral research at both the University of Groningen and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Since May 2022, I have been part of the Department of Biomedical Polymer Materials and Artificial Organs at the School of Polymer Science and Engineering at Sichuan University, joining the research group of Professor Ding Mingming. I lead projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation and the Sichuan Provincial Natural Science Foundation's Youth Fund, as well as the Youth Talent Project of the National Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering and the Talent Introduction Project of the School of Polymer Science and Engineering at Sichuan University. I have published many papers in leading journals such as Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Chemical Science, etc. Two of these papers have been featured on journal covers, and one was highlighted on a front cover. Additionally, I hold three invention patents. Furthermore, I serve as a guest editor for the journal Polymers, am the Secretary of the student party branch, and have received awards such as the Excellent Supervisor Award in Provincial Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Research Interests
My primary research interests include machine learning, multiscale molecular dynamics simulations, development of multiscale molecular dynamics force fields, and their applications in fields such as biomolecular coacervate, cell membrane phase separation, polymer materials, and anticancer drug development.
