Biography
Dr. Zhong Longhua ( Ph.D., head of independent research group ) received Bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctorate degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 00 , 03 and 06 respectively . He studied the mechanism of metal-catalyzed organic reaction. From 06 to 13 years, Professor Keiji Morokuma, Professor of Kyoto University , studied the complex biological system using multiscale simulation methods to guide the postdoctoral fellow of the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo and the Zhu Xiong Research Group. 13 years from October to join the Southern University of Science and Technology Department of Chemistry, the establishment of multi-scale multi-reference model simulation complex system laboratory, engaged in the study of complex biochemistry , biophysics and organic chemistry system. Including the development and application of biocatalytic reactions, photochemical and photobiological, sustainable chemistry, and new simulation methods. At the same time to join the biology of biological information, systems and quantitative biology team.
