Zisheng Zhang
At the intersection of catalysis, material science, and theoretical chemistry
Seeking tenure-track faculty position
Greetings! I am Zisheng Zhang (張 孜晟), currently a Stanford Energy Fellow conducting semi-independent postdoctoral research at the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis, hosted by Dr. Frank Abild-Pedersen and Prof. Thomas Jaramillo.
As a computational chemist, my research focuses on understanding chemical complexity in emerging catalytic surfaces, electrochemical interfaces, and functional molecules. I develop, maintain, and leverage a computational arsenal of quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, and machine learning approaches.
Prior to Stanford, I did undergraduate research at Southern University of Science and Technology of China with Prof. Jun Li, completed my MSc & PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with Prof. Anastassia N. Alexandrova, and held a research internship at Argonne National Laboratory with Dr. Maria Chan.
I am currently looking for Tenure-Track faculty positions in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, Applied Physics, or other relevant departments. The research plans of the ZZ Lab are summarized in the comic below: 
Trivia: I am a alumnus of the late UCLA-CSST program. I did my PhD study remotely from Austin, Texas. I love birding, UrbEx, and ghost towns. I plan to make xkcd-style TOC graphics for all my first- or corresponding-author papers to come, and proposals if possible.
