Dr. Wei Zhou's research interests are in the areas of novel porous materials, computational materials design, neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. His recent work focuses on developing advanced materials for gas adsorption, storage, and separation (CH4, H2, CO2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6,etc.), by combining various experimental techniques and first-principles calculations. The materials under investigations include porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and hydrides etc.
If you are a Ph.D. candidate (in chemistry, materials science, or physics) expecting to graduate within one year, or already have a Ph.D. degree obtained recently, and are interested in porous framework materials, neutron diffraction/spectroscopy, and/or computational materials science, you are encouraged to apply the NRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at NIST (U.S. citizenship required).
