Professor Jhih-Wei Chu grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. His research interest is using computers to simulate biosystems. This agenda aims to generate understanding of how a complex system acquires functionalities from its building blocks and their structures and dynamics. In the meantime, he also develops multiscale computational schemes to make such simulations possible. The following lists more details of his background.
