I have much interest in Science. My interest falls into Mathematics, Physics, Biology and computer programing. I am especially interested in Theoretical Biology, Brain/Cognitive Science. The below is some work I did when I was an undergraduate or am doing in University of Tennessee, most of which is superficial.

Before August, 2000, when I was in Peking University in China

If you want to know how naive I was, and how bad my English was, have a brief look at my so-called "research" done Before August, 2000, when I was in Peking University in China. Please don't stay long, you will puke. (I myself almost puke)

The work is done when I was an undergraduate in the dept of biochemistry and molecular biology in Peking University(or Beijing University). Sometimes I blush to read it again, it's too naive and superficial and the English is too bad. But at that time I thought I did a really marvelous job and even distributed dozens of hard copies to professors and classmates as the new year presents. They probably thought, "this is the worst present I have received this year."

That was not end. I even sent one of my manuscripts to Nature. I succeeded in having Nature reject it quickly. I revised it and sent it to Ecological Modelling, thank God, they don't reject it but ask me to make a major revise. Fortunately, I was too busy at that time and prevented such a bad paper published.

After August, 2000, at University of Tennessee, Knoxville

I don't do much work in this period. I am struggling in the flood of English. But I still think some interesting questions like "why I was naked in public in the dream?" or "why I am stupid at Evolution class". I even thought some basic physical concepts like "mass" and "force" are garbage and tried to build another theory without them! I was stopped by finals.

I also built a "small room" for scientific discussion in Yahoo. But it seems most messages were posted by myself.

　

Current work: complexity of two-linked populations

I am working on the dynamics of a model consisting two populations linked by migration. Quite different from a single population model, two-population model shows sensitivity to initial conditions and other much more complex behavior.

　

C source code

I like programming using C/C++. I was angry because somebody said I was a bad programmer, now I find I am really far from good. Sometimes I am curious, is C++ more difficult than physics?

　

Future

I plan to focus on neuroscience after I get Master's degree. The mystery of brain always attracts me. I want to explore this field with both theoretical and experimental methods. I have my advantage(^_^): I did a lot experiments in Peking University and a lot theoretical work in Univ of Tennessee.
