About

Dr Wendong Ma is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Materials Modelling and Simulation Group at RMIT University. He uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and multiscale computational approaches to study antimicrobial agent–membrane interactions, lipid nanoparticles and complex biomolecular self-assembly. His research aims to inform antibiotic design, explain mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance, and support the development of drug and RNA delivery systems.

 

He also has experience in computer-aided drug design (CADD) and AI-driven drug discovery (AIDD), including molecular docking, virtual screening, cheminformatics and interpretable AI modelling. His work spans computational chemistry, microbiology and biomolecular modelling.
