Profile

Dr. Qin Yang is a computational chemist whose research interest is to apply accurate computational methods to large molecular systems of biological and technological significance. She is working on validating advanced simulation models to the biological molecular spectra, especially chiral spectra. In vibration spectra, methods that go beyond harmonic simulation are used, and in electronic spectra, vibrational effects are considered. Her research requires a close collaboration with experiment. Now she also involves herself actively in using advanced spectrometers to calibrate the developed models.
