Program Overview
NYU Shanghai, in collaboration with ECNU's School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, welcomes applications from outstanding students for doctoral and master’s study in Physical Chemistry. Within the standard duration of studies (4-year Ph.D./ 3-year master's), students are required to complete their coursework at ECNU, undertake their doctoral research under the supervision of NYU Shanghai faculty, and pass through the dissertation defense. NYU Shanghai physical chemistry faculty work on topics related to developing more reliable computational methods and software to study protein-ligand interaction, the computational study of protein-protein interaction, developing machine learning methods to predict ADMET properties of small molecule, developing a comprehensive software in silico design of drug molecules, and the computational simulation of complex chemical reactions processes.
