Dr. Zhao Erzhuo from Tsinghua University was invited to the PECat research group for academic exchange. During the communication process, Dr. Zhao first introduced the working principle and usage of gas chromatography (GC) instrument in detail to the members of the research group, helping them better understand the operating process and application skills of the instrument. Subsequently, Dr. Zhao shared basic knowledge about density functional theory (DFT) calculations and, based on his own research experience, discussed how to apply DFT theory for computational analysis of molecular structures and reaction mechanisms in practical scientific research.
In the latter half of the communication, Dr. Zhao visited the laboratory of the research group and focused on learning about the GC-MS instrument of the research group. Dr. Zhao had an in-depth exchange of ideas with the members of the research group, sharing his experience and insights in using GC-MS instruments, and proposing some methods for optimizing operations and data analysis to help the members improve instrument efficiency and data accuracy.
This academic exchange not only deepened the understanding of GC and GC-MS technology among the members of the research group, but also provided new ideas for the theoretical calculation research of the research group. Dr. Zhao's visit further promoted academic discussions and technological advancements among the members of the research group in related fields.
