Research summary
AI-generated

Qing Tang works in materials science with a focus on computational and experimental studies of atomically precise metal nanoclusters (tiny, well-defined clusters of metal atoms such as gold, silver, and copper). Much of the research explores how these nanoclusters catalyze chemical reactions important for energy conversion, including converting carbon dioxide and producing hydrogen, often using computer simulations and machine learning to understand their structure and behavior.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
