Prior to joining the RCAC team in 2022, Nannan's research area was utilizing both multiscale simulations (e.g. DFT and MD) and experiments to accelerate the functional materials discovery and innovation in the fields of surface science, catalysis and energy production and storage.

Equipped with broad scientific knowledge and hands-on experience in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, and Chemistry, Nannan is devoting her passion to supporting users of RCAC community clusters and ACCESS Anvil cluster. She dedicates herself to advancing the scientific research through high performance computing (HPC) techniques with scientists at Purdue and nationwide institutions.
