De en Jiang

Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Overview:

The Jiang Group’s research focuses on computational chemical science and engineering, with a long-term goal to achieve data-driven design of functional materials and molecules for a sustainable society. Current research topics include the follow areas: (i) computational nanocatalysis by nanoclusters, single atoms, oxides, perovskites, zeolites, and 2D materials; (ii) simulations of molecular and ionic separations via membranes, sorbents, composite systems, and ionic liquids for carbon capture and rare-earth separations; (iii) first principles understanding of electrical energy storage and solid/liquid interfaces in batteries and capacitors.
