novel materials.
We connect molecular insight with materials discovery through computational chemistry and artificial intelligence. Our research explores how atomic interactions, interfacial environments, and structural dynamics govern reaction pathways and materials performance. By integrating first-principles simulations, multiscale kinetics, and data-driven modeling, we seek to reveal the mechanisms behind complex chemical processes and guide the design of catalysts, energy materials, functional materials, and molecular systems.
