Research Interests

I am interested in molecular simulations, multi-scale modeling, coarse-grained and mesoscale modeling and simulations of complex systems (polymers, nanoparticles, and biomolecules, etc.) and related self-assembly processes. My research at Berkeley focuses on how to use computational methods to investigate the dissolution of cellulose in ionic liquids, which is part of a large, collaborative biofuel project.

Short Bio

Ting got his BE degree in applied chemistry in 1996 and MS degree in physical chemistry in 1999, both from East China University of Science and Technology. He earned a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2006 and was a postdoctoral research associate at the department of chemical engineering at Princeton University from 2006 to 2008.
