Biography
Xiangze Zeng is currently an Assistant Professor in the physics department with an affiliated position in the School of Chinese Medicine at Hong Kong Baptist University. He obtained his BSc in physics at Shandong University in 2013. Then he did his PhD study in the chemistry department at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from 2013 to 2017. After that, he got postdoc training at Washington University in St. Louis.
Xiangze is interested in studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of biomolecules at the atomic and molecular level. He aims to uncover the molecular mechanism of different molecular processes, using computer simulations (all-atom and coarse-grained simulations), mathematical modelling, and close collaborations with experimentalists.
