Summary
Dr. Hong-Zhou Ye of the University of Maryland, College Park is supported by an award from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods program in the Chemistry Section to develop new theoretical methods for accurately and efficiently simulating chemical reactions catalyzed by transition metal surfaces. Understanding surface reactions at the atomic level is essential for designing improved catalysts with higher energy efficiency, better chemical selectivity, and improved synthesizability, which have critical impacts on the energy, technology, and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. and
