Kunran Yang

Kunran Yang earned PhD degree in Physical Chemistry from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (also studied in ShanghaiTech University) in 2021, and he is now a postdoc in North Carolina State University. He has published 13 papers and over 300 citations until July 2023. He also served as reviewers for over ten reputable journals including Materials Horizons (IF: 15.7), JMCC (IF: 8.1) etc. Dr. Yang specializes in material and catalyst design inspired by first-principles calculations and machine learning. His research interest includes i) identifying thermo/electro catalytic reaction mechanisms by first-principle techniques, ii) realistic surface strcuture and reaction kinetics, iii) surface structure modeling at complex conditions (e.g. solid-liquid interface and electrochemical conditions), iv) material design by thermodynamic calculations, high-throughput screening and machine learning applied in catalysis etc.
