Research Interests

By using theory and computation, our group is interested in understanding

1. thermodynamic and dynamical properties of organic-coated water droplets
2. hindered diffusion of colloidal particles near liquid-liquid/liquid-solid interfaces
3. charge transport and mechanical properties of fuel cell membranes
4. chemical kinetics of catalyzed asymmetric organic reactions (in collaboration with Prof. Yeung-Ying YEUNG)
