On Friday, June 7, the CCBM will host UC Davis Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry, Lee-Ping Wang, for a seminar.
"Our research program investigates chemical energy conversion by developing cutting-edge theoretical and computational chemistry methods to accelerate the discovery of reaction pathways, providing new insight into the reaction mechanisms and formulating design principles for improved catalysts. We are focusing on three areas that bridge renewable energy with biochemistry and inorganic / materials chemistry: (1) CO2 reduction pathways in molecular and heterogeneous catalysts, (2) proton transfer pathways in membrane proteins, and (3) surface reconstruction of perovskite electrocatalysts and photovoltaics." -https://chemistry.ucdavis.edu/people/lee-ping-wang
