Zonghui Wei

Applied Physics

Faculty Mentor: Professor Erik Luijten

Research

Zonghui Wei received a B.S. in Applied Physics from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Her research work is currently focused on multi-scale molecular simulation studies on the shape control of nucleic acid and polycation nanoparticles for gene delivery. This research involves using molecular dynamics simulations to understand the mechanism of nanoparticle shape formation and guide the synthesis of gene delivery carriers that yield nanoparticles of specific morphology. This research will contribute to the clinical application of effective gene-delivery systems.
