Welcome to the Zhang Lab!

We are a young computational chemistry research group at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Our research centres around the development and application of computational tools to understand organic and organometallic catalysis using quantum chemical methods. Areas of interests include the development of automation tools for greater efficiency of computational chemistry practices and the study of transition-metal catalysed C–H functionalisation and organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis, small molecule activation and supramolecular catalysis. We are also interested in the application of machine learning techniques to address challenging chemical systems and study dynamics effects on a larger length- and time-scale.
