CONFERENCE INTRODUCTION

The 2024 International Conference on Molecular Simulation
Molecular simulation, as a powerful tool for investigating science of matter at a molecular level, is widely applied in interdisciplinary fields between chemistry, physics, biology, engineering and material science. With explosive growth of computing capability, molecular simulation provides a platform from which scientists engineers can analyse, describe and model complex molecular systems and fascinating molecular behaviour and reaction from microscopic scale to macroscopic properties. Recent years witnessed a rapid rise of interests in molecular simulations from many Chinese universities, institutes and enterprises, driving scientific innovations and technological advances.
The theme of the conference in this year would be Molecular Simulation of Electrochemical Interfaces in Energy Storage and Catalysis.

EXPERT INTRODUCTION

Suojiang Zhang, an academician of the CAS Member, president of Henan University, and vice chairman of the Chinese Chemical Society, is the chief editor of Journal of Process Engineering and Green Energy&Environment. He has been engaged in green chemical process and engineering research for many years, revealed the structure-activity relationship of green medium ionic liquids and the special structure of nano micro interfaces, and formed a new molecular design method of ionic liquids; The new reaction transfer coupling mechanism and engineering amplification law of ionic liquid system have been obtained, and the new technology of ionic liquid enhanced reaction/separation has been developed; It has broken through the major technical and engineering problems of large-scale preparation, process innovation and system integration of ionic liquids, and achieved the demonstration and industrial application of a number of green technologies.
Nick Quirke is Professor of Chemical Physics. His research group conducts fundamental research in key areas of nanoscience with strong support from EPSRC, the EU and industry. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Editor-in-Chief of the international interdisciplinary computational journal, Molecular Simulation, as well as the Journal of Experimental Nanoscience and Nanoscience Methods. He was Principal, Science and Engineering, and Vice President, University College Dublin (2006-2011) on leave from Imperial. Prior to UCD he was Head of the Computational, Theoretical and Structural Chemistry group, Imperial College, Director, Masters Programme in Nanomaterials, Imperial College and Visiting Fellow at the National Physical Laboratory (1998- 2006) . He received the 1998 Royal Society of Chemistry Medal for Statistical Mechanics and was Royal Society/Kan Tong Po Professor at the University of Hong Kong for the session 2003/2004
