Qin Wu

Qin completed his PhD in Chemistry at Duke University in 2004, writing a thesis under the direction of Prof. Weitao Yang probing new approaches to treat exchange and correlation in Density Functional Theory. During his post-doc with Prof. Troy Van Voorhis at MIT, Qin developed new methods to compute electron transfer rates and studied reaction pathways in order to understand novel ruthenium catalysts. With the CFN, Qin will continue research in the catalysis area and initiate research programs directed to understand ligand mediated electron transfer in hybrid nanosystems.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
