Yaxin An

Yaxin An currently serves as an Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University, focusing on multi-scaling modeling of macromolecules, machine learning-assisted materials design, biomolecular phase transitions, and polymer conformation transitions. Prior to this role, Yaxin An obtained a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech, where the research centered on constructing machine learning regression models for all-atom reconstructions and optimizing coarse-grained force-fields using Particle Swarm Optimization. Yaxin An's postdoctoral experience at Princeton University involved performing coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of proteins and developing machine learning models to predict thermodynamic properties. Additionally, Yaxin An worked as a Research Scientist at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, focusing on the fabrication of polymer ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes and their performance in relation to various support membranes. Yaxin An holds a Master's degree in Polymers in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University.
