(I) Vision and Mission
In order to promote the interdisciplinary development of chemistry and chemical engineering and promote the construction of double first-class disciplines, Tianjin University established molecular + Research Institute on January 12, 2019 under the overall discipline layout of "strengthening engineering, enriching science, invigorating liberal arts and invigorating medicine". Academician Yao Jianian is the president of the Institute. Institute will revolve around "new chemical, chemical industry, new industry" development strategy, starting from the new scientific thought, from a new Angle to study the generation of new materials, new ways of regulating the chemical reaction, chemical centered subject initiate new molecular + path, promote the development of fusion and chemical disciplines, promote innovative chemical basic theory and related process equipment upgrade, Realize scientific source innovation to drive industrial transformation and innovation development.
(2) Leaders
Yao Jiannian, academician, Chinese Academy of Sciences, physical chemist. He was deputy director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Currently, he is the Chairman of The Chinese Chemical Society, a member of the Royal Chemical Society and the International Society of Nanomanufacturing, and a consultant of the China Comprehensive Research Center of Japan Science and Technology Agency. He has been engaged in the basic and application research of new chemical functional materials for a long time, and has made pioneering contributions to the design and application of low-dimensional materials and precise catalysts.
