Jiang was selected for a UIUC Department of Physics Graduate Student Travel Award to partially support his attendance at the APS March Meeting 13-17 March 2017 in New Orleans, LA where he will deliver a talk in Session S40: Physics of Ring Polymers. Jiang’s talk is entitled “Analysis of the morphology, stability, and folding pathways of ring polymers with supramolecular topological constraints using molecular simulation and nonlinear manifold learning”, concerning the coupled use of machine learning and molecular simulation to probe the fundamental physics of interlocking ring polymers. Well done, Jiang!
