Ri Han

Seoul, South Korea

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Global Innovative Drug at Chung-Ang University, conducting research in the Chem/Bioinformatics Laboratory under the guidance of Professor Yoonji Lee.

My academic focus lies in the sequence-structure analysis of Purinergic receptors, employing computational methods such as FEP (Free Energy Perturbation) calculations, MD (Molecular Dynamics) simulations, and molecular docking.

Outside the lab, I am a passionate insect enthusiast who enjoys raising silkworms and rhinoceros beetles.
