Research interest My current research focuses on modeling and simulating cell cycle for Caulobacter crescentus.  Caulobacter is a model organism for understanding cell differentiation and regulation of prokaryotes, which undergoes typical asymmetric cell division. Since the asymmetric cell division pattern plays an essential role in survival in oligotrophic environments for Caulobacter, I'm interested in exploring how the pattern is regulated and interacts with environment.
