Dr. Ye research group is currently recruiting two Ph.D. candidates as RA and two Ph.D candidates as TA to work on the project related to computational study and high-throughput screening of efficient homogeneous catalysts and heterogeneous catalysts for small molecule activation and conversion, such as CO2 conversion, C-H bond activation, water splitting.

The candidates will apply DFT, cheminformatics, data science, machine learning, especially deep learning to design and discovery of highly active, selective and stable catalysts.

The successful candidates will be:

(1) Chemistry/Chemical Engineering/Physics or related Major in B.S. and/or M.S.

(2) GPA is over 3.2

(3) Have strong interests in Machine Learning and Computational Catalysis

(4) If the candidate has experience on machine learning, density functional theory, python coding or other coding skills will be a plus.

If you are interested, please immediately send your CV, transcript, and personal statement, and TOEFL (or IEITS) to [email protected]
