Biography
Chenyang Li received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in 2020 under the supervision of Professor Tim Mueller. Dr. Li’s research interests include fundamental understanding of structure-property relationships in catalysts using first principles calculations and machine learning. Currently, Dr. Li is a member of the Molecular Materials Group working with Dr. Rajeev Assary and he is carrying out collaborative research within the Consortium for Computational Physics and Chemistry (CCPC).
