Prof. Ming-Kang (Brad) Tsai received his PhD in University of Pittsburgh, US. Before returning to Taiwan, he worked as the postdoctoral researcher in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington State, US and Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, US. He took is faculty position in Department of Chemistry of National Taiwan Normal University in 2010. He is currently a full professor in Department of Chemistry and also serves as the director of Intelligent Computing for Sustainable Research Development Research Center.  

Our laboratory specializes at high performance computational chemistry and chemical Informatics. The relevant techniques can be accessed here are:

1. High performance first-principle simulations, e.g. Density Functional Theory or ab initio Electronic Structure theory
2. Molecular dynamics simulations at various levels of potential energy surfaces, e.g. classical force field, reactive force field, semi-empirical methods
3. Constructing accurate and efficient potential energy surface by force matching or machine learning methods
4. Building neuron network model for emerging molecular and materials property prediction
5. Design generative model for automatic molecular and materials design
