My research is focused on using pulse electron spin resonance technique to investigate biological systems. I am interested in using copper (II) ion as the spin probe and Double Electron-Electron Resonance (DEER) technique to measure the distance between two units in proteins (EcoR1 and GlyR), in order to determine the protein conformation dynamics and binding patterns. Recently I am trying to figure out the g tensor orientation problems in the Cu(II)-EcoR1 system using simulation methods.

 

I like Pittsburgh because of its natural beauty, although sometimes it is very cold in winter. The people here are very friendly, and it gives me the feeling I am in my hometown. During my free time I like playing basketball and watching NBA games. Houston Rockets is one of my favorite NBA team because of Yao Ming.
