Area of Interest

• Computational Chemistry
• Molecular modeling
• Protein and enzyme modeling
• Reaction mechanism of organometallic/Inorganic system
• Nano composite and nanotube modeling

Current Research Activities

My current research interest focus on three areas:

• density functional modeling on nano composite materials
• molecular modeling of protein and their functionality;
• drug design

Selected publications

I always encourage students to participate in the research and present their results at local, regional and national meetings. Even better, the trip is all paid for. For example:

• Fan, H.-J. and Walker, L. Size matters: Theoretical investigation of the factors that influence the electronic structure of nanotube 237th ACS National Meeting, Salt Lake City, UT, March 22-26, 2009
• Arman, B; Fan,H.-J.; and Cagin, T. Theoretical exploration of sensing mechanisms of nitroaromatics 237th ACS National Meeting, Salt Lake City, UT, March 22-26, 2009
• Stoddard, S. and Fan, H.-J. Molecular modeling the interaction between the chemical ligands and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 236th ACS National Meeting from Aug. 17-21,2008 Philadelphia, PA
• Stoddard, S; Jackson, M.; Uket, O. and Fan, H.-J. A Chemical Interpretation of the Interaction Between the Ligand CDK Binding Site 4^th Annual Research Symposium, PVAMU, TX (1^st Place winner), April, 2008
