In order to further study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, promote the construction of academic research in the college, stimulate students' interest in learning this major, and create a good academic atmosphere, on May 13th at 9:30 a.m.,AulinCollege invitedDr. Wang Ziyunfrom the University of Auckland, New Zealand, in the 101 Academic Lecture Hall, An academic report titled Rational Catalyst Design for CO2Electrochemical Reduction Reaction was given by some students majoring in chemistry and some postgraduate students from the School of Materials Science and Engineering and the School of Chemical Resources. The report was hosted byLiu Zhiming, the dean ofthe school.
Dr. Wang Ziyun is currently a lecturer (equivalent to an assistant professor) in the Department of Science at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. He received his Ph.D. from Queen's University in 2015 under the guidance of Academician Hu Peijun. He conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University (co-advisor: Jens K. Nørskov) and the University of Toronto (co-advisor: Edward H. Sargent), focusing on theoretical calculations of carbon dioxide electroreduction, artificial intelligence-assisted heterogeneous catalytic design, and surface microdynamics. Dr. Wang has published 39 articles as corresponding author or (co-first) author, including 1 in Nature, 3 in Nature Catalysis, 1 in Nature Energy, 3 in Nature Communications, and 6 in JACS. One article in Advanced Science.
At the report session, Dr. Wang Ziyun, based on his own research direction, presented the latest international research achievements in aspects such as rational catalyst inverse problem design, active learning optimization of carbon monoxide adsorption, molecular-modified carbon monoxide coupling, partial pressure and mechanism of carbon monoxide reaction, and answered the questions raised by the students one by one.
The academic report was concise and the process was easy to understand. It not only provided students with a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the frontier research in electrochemistry and computational chemistry, but also gave them new thoughts and insights into the entire field of chemistry, greatly broadening their horizons and stimulating their interest in exploring the chemistry profession.
Li Chengyue, a student from Class 2, Grade 2020 of Chemistry atAulinCollege, said that through this report, she learned about the latest major international research achievements in chemistry, which sparked her interest and enthusiasm for scientific research, and strengthened her determination and courage to contribute her youth to the development of science and technology in the country.
