Research Interests

My research interests is stochastic modeling in cellular molecular biology. I worked on bioinformatic projects: Gene prediction of rice chromosome 10 based on tiling microarray data when I was undergraduate with Asst. Prof. Minghua Deng. Currently, I am interested in coupled diffusion process in enzyme kinetics and the numerical methods to solve large scale diffusion equations. My thesis advisor is Prof. Hong Qian.
