Yanting Wang's Group in ITP-CAS
The main focus of our research group is the structural and dynamical properties and self-assembly processes of various kinds of soft materials as well as their microscopic mechanisms. Our current research interests include self-assembly of nanometals and peptides, structural and dynamical properties of ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of soft matter, and coarse-graining methodology for molecular simulation. The most recent effort has been devoted to a quantitative definition of soft matter from the viewpoint of statistical mechanics.
