The primary focus of research in the Hung Lab is computer simulation (molecular modeling, process simulation) of interfaces and mixtures relevant to separations, energy storage, development of nano/bio-materials, and environmental chemistry. Research interests include ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents, nanoporous materials, hydrophobins, biomaterials, crystal nucleation, organics in environmental interfaces, and liquid crystalline systems.

In this short talk, Hung describes a project involving molecular dynamic simulations aimed at overcoming difficulties in nanoparticle drug delivery into cancer cells.
