个人简介

Peng Liu received his B.S. degree from Peking University in 2003 and M.Sc. degree from the University of Guelph in 2006. He completed his Ph.D. at UCLA in 2010 under the guidance of Professor Kendall N. Houk. His graduate studies focused on the computational studies of transition metal catalyzed cycloaddition and reductive coupling reactions. From 2010–2014, he was a postdoctoral scholar of Professor Houk’s group at UCLA, where he performed computational research in various areas of organic chemistry, including C–H bond functionalization, olefin metathesis, organocatalysis, organic nanomaterials, and enzyme catalysis. He joined the faculty at the Department of Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh in September 2014. Since 2015 he has been an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering. He is currently a member of the Pitt Computational Modeling and Simulation program and the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute. In the past four years, the Liu research group has published over 50 papers in the area of computational organic chemistry, including both collaborative and independent computational studies. Liu’s research accomplishments have been recognized by a number of awards, including the NSF CAREER award in 2017, the Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry Award for Early Excellence in 2018, and the NIH Maximizing Investigators' Research Award (MIRA) in 2018. His research is currently supported by the NSF, NIH, ONR, and the University of Pittsburgh Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation.

研究领域

Reactivity and Selectivity Rules in Organic and Organometallic Reactions We are developing computational models to quantitatively describe the origins of reactivity and selectivity in organocatalytic and transition metal-catalyzed reactions. We perform quantum mechanical calculations to explore the reaction mechanism, followed by thorough analysis on various stereoelectronic effects to predict how changes of the catalyst structure, substituents, and solvent affect rate and selectivity. We use quantitative energy decomposition methods to dissect the key interactions in the transition state and provide chemically meaningful interpretation to the computed reactivity and selectivity. We apply these computational studies to a broad range of organic and organometallic reactions, such as C–H and C–C bond activations, olefin hydrofunctionalization, olefin metathesis, and polymerization reactions. Catalyst Screening and Prediction Successful computational predictions of new catalyst for organic and organometallic reactions are still rare. To transform computations from a tool of explaining after-facts to an efficient approach to predict and guide new discoveries, it is eminent to develop rapid screening technology to facilitate the discovery of new catalysts. We are developing a multi-scale computational screening protocol which could efficiently rank the catalysts based on ligand-substrate interaction energies in the transition state. Applications of Computational Chemistry in Understanding Organic Chemistry We are collaborating with experimental groups at Pitt and many other institutions to solve problems in organic chemistry using computational methods and programs. Students in our group are actively involved in efficient communication and close collaboration with experimental groups in various areas of chemistry. Our goal is to establish the most effective strategy to use modern computational methods and hardware to help address the grand challenges in synthetic chemistry.
