Jingsong Huang’s initial background was experimental organic chemistry and physical chemistry, with some experience in the chemical industry. Later he pivoted to theoretical and computational studies of physical and chemical problems of functional materials. Research expertise lies mainly in the modeling/simulation/theory of structure-property correlation, weak intermolecular covalent bonding interactions, and electrical energy conversion/storage, by development of theoretical models and by application of various levels of theory. With a background of an experimental chemist and expertise of a theoretical and computational chemist, his primary goal is to bridge experimental observations with theoretical insights, thereby guiding material discovery and optimization.
