研究领域

Computational Chemistry and Biophysics The central theme of my research program can be summarized as developing and applying theoretical and computational tools to understand the structure-dynamics-function relationship in complex (bio)molecular and nanoscale systems. Complementary to experimental investigations, such studies can gain new physical insights into the underlying mechanism and provide necessary knowledge for manipulation in molecular engineering applications and discovery of novel therapeutics. Currently, the specific problems of interest include protein-DNA interactions, mechanistic studies of cofactor-independent oxygenation and carbohydrate-active enzymes.
