07/2022: Wali Siddiqui joins the group as an undergraduate researcher. Welcome Wali!
Welcome to Zhao Group at NEU!
We develop and apply electronic structure theory and machine learning to design catalysts for new energy and sustainability. We are interested in transforming carbon dioxide to fuels, converting nitrogen gas to ammonia, and activating methane to multi-carbon hydrocarbons!
