Jingyun Ye has been appointed assistant professor of chemistry & biomolecular science at Clarkson University.
She received her Ph.D. and bachelor’s degrees in chemical engineering from Tianjin University.
Ye’s research interests are in using state-of-the-art quantum chemistry calculations and kinetic modeling to investigate the catalyst structures, reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics and kinetics of catalytic reactions at the molecular level; exploring structure-function relationships to identify the physical and chemical descriptors that govern catalytic activity for large-scale computational screening, and further guide experiments on how to tune those properties to obtain superior catalytic performance; and developing new computational methods for the discovery of novel materials.
Her ultimate goal is to precisely design multi-functional materials and efficient catalysts for sustainable energy conversion and storage.
She has published in Journal of the American Chemical Society, ACS Catalysis, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Journal of Catalysis, ChemCatChem, Catalysis Science & Technology, ChemComm, Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallics, Journal of Physical Chemistry C, among other publications, and has presented at many conferences.
She previously served as a postdoctoral associate at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and at the University of Pittsburgh.
