Welcome
Welcome to this corner of simulation and catalysis. This space is devoted to modeling real-world catalytic systems, turning mechanistic insight into meaningful impact, and developing new simulation paradigms for computational chemistry. We value both classical, theory-driven thinking (where elegant principles arise from human intuition) and contemporary AI-powered approaches, including machine-learning-accelerated quantum chemistry and vibe coding. As long as curiosity and motivation are present, simulation, modeling, and even quantum chemistry computation are far more accessible than they may appear. No prior experience is required to begin and it is never too late to start.
歡迎來到這個關於模擬與催化的小角落。這裡致力於建立貼近真實世界的催化系統模型，將對反應機制的理解轉化為具有實際影響力的成果，並發展計算化學中的新型模擬方法。我們同時重視經典、以理論為核心的思考方式（目前爲止所有具有重大影響力的原理和發現都源自人類直覺與智慧），也擁抱當代由人工智慧驅動的研究工具，例如機器學習加速的量子化學計算與 vibe coding。 只要具備好奇心與學習動機，模擬、建模，甚至量子化學計算，其實都比想像中更容易入門。開始學習不需要任何先備背景，而踏出第一步，永遠不會太晚。
Openings in this group
We are currently recruiting research assistants (full-time and part-time), Master’s students, and PhD students. Positions will be available starting August 2026. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Chuhong for more information.
By joining the group, students will gain hands-on experience in catalysis, reaction engineering, and computational chemistry, learn how to model realistic catalytic systems, and build practical skills in programming, data analysis, and modern AI-enabled tools. The group provides close mentorship and a supportive environment for developing independent research ideas and problem-solving abilities. Group members will have opportunities to collaborate with overseas research groups and present their work at conference.
Applicants are welcome if they have either a chemistry-related background (chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or related fields) or some experience with MATLAB or Python. You do not need to be strong in both areas and we believe that interest, motivation, and willingness to learn are what matter most. The group offers projects with different levels of computational and programming needs, ranging from introductory (understanding and running existing codes in Linux, MATLAB, or Python environments), to intermediate (modifying and extending existing scripts), and to advanced levels (developing new models, automation tools, and well-structured code workflows). Training and guidance will be provided at each stage.
團隊招募資訊
我們目前正在招募研究助理（全職／兼職）、碩士生與博士生。 職缺預計自2026 年 8 月起開放加入。若您有興趣，歡迎隨時聯絡 Chuhong (chuhonglin@cgu.edu.tw)取得更多資訊。
加入本團隊後，你將能累積催化、反應工程與計算化學的實作經驗，學習如何建立貼近真實系統的催化模型， 並培養程式撰寫、資料分析與AI 輔助工具等實用能力。我們將提供開展工作所需要的指導與支持， 協助你發展獨立的研究想法與解決問題的能力。團隊成員也將有機會與海外研究團隊合作，並於國內外學術研討會發表研究成果。
只要符合以下其中一項條件，即非常歡迎申請：具有化工相關背景（化工、材料、化學或相關領域）， 或具備 MATLAB／Python 的基礎使用經驗。 你不需要同時在兩方面有經驗，更重要的是興趣、動機與願意學習的態度。 研究所需要的計算與程式程度取決於具體的研究題目，從入門（理解並在 Linux、MATLAB 或 Python 環境中執行既有程式）， 到進階（在既有程式基礎上修改與延伸），再到高階（自行建立模型、開發自動化工具，並有效率地整理與管理程式流程）。 在每個階段都會提供相對應的訓練與指導。
