I am an associate professor of soft matter physics at the Southwest University. I received my Ph. D in Theoretical Physics from Nanjing University in 2016, with Prof. Yu-Qiang Ma serving as my advisor. During my doctoral studies, I visited the Center for Soft Condensed Matter Physics and Interdisciplinary Research at Soochow University (2012-2016, working with Prof. Kang Chen). I held postdoctoral positions in the complex division of Beijing Computational Science Research Center, (2016-2018, working with Prof. Xinliang Xu).
I am interested in soft condensed matter physics, polymer physics, active matter, and bacterial hydrodynamics. My current research mainly focuses on the theoretical and computational aspects of the following topics: (1) Conformation, topology, and dynamics of biopolymers. (2) Low-Reynolds hydrodynamics and active fluids. (3) Glass transition and slow dynamics in polymer nanocomposites.
Main research methods
(i) Molecular dynamics simulations and Brownian dynamics simulations
(ii) The Method of Regularized Stokeslets
(iii) Kinetical theory of bacterial suspension
(iv) The nonlinear Langevin equation theory and Polymer Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory

任现职以来的代表性工作:
1.使用斯托克斯点力法和低雷诺数流体理论,通过近场流体力学相互作用解释了实验上油滴转子在细菌溶液中的加速转动,并指出近场作用在细菌湍流的间歇性涡旋中扮演重要作用。
H. X. Huang+, B. K. Zhang+, S. Guo*, “Crowding accelerates the rotation of a bacterial rotor”, accepted in JFM.
2. 通过分子动力学模拟,提出了聚合物链的活性修饰策略,发现活性诱导了聚合物的刚性,进而导致了缠结的网络和反常的慢动力学特性,该工作为相关的活性聚合物材料设计提供了新的思路。

3.溶剂分子对聚合物静态构型性质的影响,发现了示踪聚合物尺寸随着填充溶剂密度的非单调变化,通过拉伸-压缩比例函数统一地解释了聚合物链整体尺寸的变化。

4.机械键诱导的玻璃化转变是一个重要的拓扑玻璃的例子,该研究揭示了该拓扑玻璃化转变的机制:机械键导致的永久缠结在环形聚合物单体中产生了有效的刚性,从而抑制了质心和单体的动力学。该工作为设计各种拓扑结构的聚合物玻璃提供了启发。
