Dr. Rong-Lin Zhong received his Ph. D in physical chemistry from Northeast Normal University under the supervision of Professor Zhong-Min Su in 2015. Then he joined the group of Professor S. Sakaki at Kyoto University, Japan, as a postdoc researcher and stayed there till 2019. He was awarded a Hong Kong scholar a postdoctoral fellowship and joined the group of Professor F. Kwong at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. After that he returned to the Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Jilin University, as an associate professor. Now he is in the faculty of the State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials in Jilin University, as an honored Tang Au-Chin Young Scholars.

The research of Dr. Rong-Lin Zhong focuses mainly on developing theoretical simulation methods on electronic structure, and molecular dynamics simulation to study complicated catalytic reaction mechanisms such as multi-component transition metal catalysis and supramolecular catalytic polymerization.
