We are recently interested in studying the formation of protein dynamic clusters in solutions. The results will benefit the understanding of colloidal systems with both a short-range attraction and an electrostatic repulsion that are ubiquitous in many biologically relevant systems.

Dendrimers are regularly branched spherical macromolecules that can have many potential applications such as "artificial blood", drug delivery carriers. We are interested in understanding its conformation change and its encapsulation properties in solutions.

The presence of solvent/solute components makes it possible to modify the effective interaction between colloidal particles at will so that one can obtain various macroscopic properties. We are interested in understanding how colloidal particles interact with each other by using statistical mechanics theories.
