Atomically Precise Nanoclusters

Yan Zhu is a full professor at Nanjing University. She earned her Ph.D. from Nanjing University (China, 2007). After she performed postdoctoral research at Keio University (Japan) and Carnegie Mellon University (USA), she joined the chemistry faculty of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2012). In 2017, she moved to Nanjing University, where she is a full professor of physical chemistry. Her current research interest is the design of atomically precise nanoclusters for catalytic applications.

Rongchao Jin is a professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. He received his B.S. in chemical physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC, Hefei, China) in 1995; his M.S. in physical chemistry/catalysis in 1998 from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA) in 2003. He then performed postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago. He joined the chemistry faculty of Carnegie Mellon University in 2006 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012 and Full Professor in 2015. His current research interests include atomically precise nanoparticles, optics of nanoparticles, and catalysis.
