报告人简介

Jiali Gao is a theoretical and computational biochemist, whose work focuses on the structure and properties of macromolecular systems. In the last few years, he developed multistate density functional theory, based on which an energy decomposition method is introduced to understand exciton resonance, charge transfer/super exchange stabilization and orbital delocalization contributions.  Jiali Gao began his studies as an undergraduate student at Peking University, and his professional career followed with graduate work at Purdue, postdoctoral research at Harvard, and faculty positions at the State University of New York at Buffalo and the University of Minnesota.
