Scholar-generated biography
Liang Hong is a researcher in biophysics, polymer physics, and water dynamics. Their work explores the dynamics of proteins, hydration water, and polymers using advanced techniques such as neutron scattering and molecular dynamics. Key areas include the electrocaloric effect in high-entropy polymers, non-equilibrium dynamics of single protein molecules, and the boson peak in glass-forming systems. Hong also investigates the structural and dynamic properties of water in biological contexts, such as its interaction with crystalline cellulose and protein hydration. Their research contributes to understanding molecular cooperativity, dynamic heterogeneity, and the thermodynamic stability of proteins. Additionally, they explore applications in materials science, such as amorphous anion-rich titanium polysulfides for aluminum-ion batteries.
