Research Interests

In my PhD, I have been focusing on understanding the following questions: 1. Phase transition of fully-hydrated lipid bilayers. 2. Self-assembly of antimicrobial peptides such as cyclotides into membranes.

In addition to membrane-protein biophysics, I am also interested in understanding data from medicinal research such as clinical trials from statistical perspective. In addition, I am very intersted in statistical such as bayesian modeling.

Education

Master of Medicine (Biostatistics) Xi'an Jiaotong University [1], China (Sep 2004 to Jul 2007)

Bachelor of Medicine (Public Health) Xi'an Jiaotong University [2], China (Sep 1999 to Jul 2004)

Computer Skills

1. SAS9 for comprehensive statistical analysis. I am a certified advanced programmer for SAS9Verify.

2. Matlab and Tcl for scientific computing.

3. SQL and Visual Basic for database design.
