معرفی
ZHANG Chun is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He holds a B.Sc. (1996), M.Sc. (2000) from Fudan University, a Ph.D. (2004) from the University of Florida, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Institute of Technology (2005). His research focuses on theoretical modeling and simulation of nanoscale materials, particularly in molecular electronics and nanocatalysis, exploring structural transitions, conductance properties, and catalytic mechanisms under external stimuli. His work integrates computational chemistry with experimental insights to design novel materials for energy, electronics, and catalysis.
Notable achievements include the CNMS Research Scholar Award (2005) and contributions to understanding oxygenated Au nanowires, CO oxidation catalysis, and 2D material properties. He teaches CM3296 Molecular Modelling: Theory and Practice. His lab investigates advanced nanomaterials, including 2D metal carbides, ferromagnetic monolayers, and plasmon-enabled atomic-scale reconstructions, with applications in sensors, energy storage, and electronics. Collaborations span experimental and theoretical domains, emphasizing atomic-scale precision and functional material design.
