Shao Research Group
We are a group of people doing computational modeling in an engineering department. Our research theme is:
(1) Integrate molecular simulations and deep learning for molecular engineering.
(2) Harvest fundamental knowledge of microscopic properties of soft materials and processes such as assembly, solvation and interfacial interactions
(3) Design novel materials and processes based on the harvested knowledge.
​
We use machine learning, density functional theory, molecular dynamics simulations, coarse-grained modeling, enhanced sampling and other necessary computational methods that can help us achieve our goals. We also collaborate closely with experiments.
​
Positions:
We are actively looking for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join our group. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Shao via qshao@uky.edu.
