What a week! The AIMED Workshop on Heterogeneous Catalysis was a remarkable success after nearly a year of prep. We couldn't have picked a better time - the excitement is at an all-time high, with two Nobel Prizes recognizing AI and fueling the momentum for scientific discovery!

🔥🚀👍

Attending my first IUPAC green chemistry conference. 😃 Many thanks to Prof. Buxing Han from the Institute of Chemistry, CAS, for the kind invitation and also for safekeeping my award plaque (as, unfortunately, I could not travel to the Netherlands to pick it up in Aug 2023). 🙏

it was true then, and it is true now.

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

Proud to be a part of this work 😀 A very extensive review led by Tao and Haldrian on how confined water in various dimensions can regulate the thermodynamics and kinetics of water dynamics and (electro)catalysis.

A fantastic week of surface science in the Chemical Reactions on Surfaces GRC at Ventura, CA - very diverse talks and posters all the way from SXRD and APXPS of catalytic interfaces and battery interphases to MLIPs and data-driven surface sampling for modeling metal oxidation and

Can’t wait for our #DataDriven catalyst design symposium at #ACSSpring2025 on Tue, 3/25. We have a very exciting lineup of speakers, so please join us if you are around! I’ll be in San Diego from Sun noon to Wed evening. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Due in a week! Don’t miss the Call for Abstracts for our #ACSFall2025 symposium if you work on electrochemical interfaces for electrified chemical transformations. Submit your abstract by March 31: callforabstracts.acs.org/acsfall2025/EN… #catalysis #energy #sustainability #decarbonization

Excited for upcoming travels: I'll present (1) a talk on GNNs for chemically disordered materials at NAM29 (6/9, Mon, 11:10 am) and (2) a poster on electrocatalyst stability/restructuring in Water Electrolysis Gordon Research Conferences (6/15-20). #NAM29 #Catalysis aiche.confex.com/aiche/nams25/m…

I had a great time visiting and giving a seminar talk at WPI-AIMR, Tohoku Univ., one of Asia's top-notch materials science research centers. Really enjoyed my time there, and many thanks to Digital Catalysis Lab (Hao Li Lab) for the invitation!

I had a fantastic visit today to the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at NTU Singapore! Many thanks to Nitish Govindarajan for hosting me. I appreciate the opportunity to share our research, and it was great to meet Haobo Li, Zhichuan J Xu, Tej S. Choksi,

A big boost for big ideas 💡 Empire AI is growing at #UBuffalo thanks to a $40M investment from New York State that will help to harness the power of #AI for the public good. Learn more 🔽 ms.spr.ly/6010S2elA

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the NUS today! Huge thanks to Pengfei Ou for hosting me and for organizing my visit agenda. I deeply enjoyed the chance to present our work, while

Unforgettable two weeks of #AMIC2025 and #AI4X2025 conferences in 🇸🇬. Very much enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with colleagues and make new friends, as well as tasting the Musang King durian. 😀
