The current problems of interests are developing a highly scalable parallel codes for high performance environments and large scale simulations of bio-molecule systems using Molecular Dynamics simulations

With the development of nano/micro-technology, new applications have been created for separating and manipulating bio-molecules with nano/micro-devices. It is therefore essential to understand the underlying physics and transport properties of highly confined macromolecules. The topic is scientifically sound and challenging. Recently MD simulations in the field of nano/micro systems have been growing rapidly.

It is because MD simulations provide a potentially powerful tool for reproducing experiments quite well and thus understanding the underlying mechanisms of the system, which cannot be found out in the experiments.

In addition, recognizing the scientific importance and the future potential applications of MD on the micro/nano systems, we have organized the Molecular Dynamics Research Group (MDRG) with professors and have been working together from January 2007.
