Research

• Objects:
  soft matter systems(a single chain, multiple chains) under physical/chemical conditions(confinement/polymerization), generic/specific models.

• Methods:
  molecular dynamics, monte carlo methods(e.g. Metropolis MC, Wang-Landau MC). WLMC is a DOS-based sampling method, which has been applied to calculate equilibrium thermodynamic properties of some generic models that describe soft matter systems. Currently WLMC is also applied to atomistic systems for doing quantum-chemistry level calculations (some works done by researchers at ORNL). I'm also interested in other enhanced sampling methods/algorithms(e.g. REM, MUCA, Umbrella sampling, metadynamics, nested sampling, population annealing, GA, PSO, ...)
