Remarks:

Please write a short summary of your progress in the PhD Program over the past 6 months (1 page). Include accomplishments such as papers submitted or accepted, conferences attended, honors and awards, or any other significant event. You should also mention any problems in making progress on your degree that we should be aware of. Finally, state your plans and what you hope to accomplish over the next year.

Education:
In ODU CS Department in 2011 Spring, I took CS795, CS875, CS895 (Computational Structural Bioinformatics).
Research:
In past 6 months, I have applied the energy function generated last year to the protein cluster study, .energy function was evaluating by different decoy sets, same energy function was applied in a our group’s protein prediction program to make structure more reasonable, a local refinement program was written to optimize the protein structure generated by predication program.
