Abstract
With early training in physics, my career was marked by continuous learning and searching for interesting problems in biology. Here, I recount some key events that influenced my choices of research topics. The diversity of topics could be attributed to my own lack of a particular focus and the interests of students and postdocs who happened to join my laboratory. My scientific and educational ventures led to my extensive involvement in Chinese neuroscience and various studies in non-human primates.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
