Qiang Zhu (Physics and Astronomy) is the principal investigator for a two-year grant of $160,895 recently awarded to UNLV by the National Science Foundation. He will collaborate with researchers at other institutions, including Arizona State University, New York University, University of Arkansas, Cornell University, and University of Puerto Rico, to investigate the structural dynamics of catalysts at atomic scale by combining recent advances in computational science with new experimental tools. The objective of this project is to better understand catalysis by establishing a link between dynamic system response and catalytic functionality.
