Research Focus
Tianlei Zhang focuses on atmospheric chemistry and its environmental implications, particularly the reactions of Criegee intermediates, sulfur oxides, and other reactive species in both gas phase and at interfaces. His research utilizes theoretical approaches like quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the physicochemical mechanisms and kinetics of these reactions. Zhang’s work aims to understand how various molecules, including water and acids/bases, influence atmospheric reactions, contributing to fields such as air quality, aerosol formation, and climate change. This interdisciplinary research bridges chemistry and environmental science, advancing knowledge on molecular processes affecting the atmosphere.
