Liqun Deng was born in China. He holds a B.Sc. degree in computational
mathematics and a M.Sc. degree in physical chemistry from Zhejiang University,
China. In 1991, he joined the Ziegler group as a graduate student at the
University of Calgary, Canada, where he obtained his Ph.D., and is currently
working as a postdoctoral fellow. His research interests include applying
and developing first principle quantum chemistry methods, i.e., density
functional theory (DFT) and post Hartree-Fock ab initio methods for kinetic
and dynamic studies of chemical reaction systems. During the last few years,
he has implemented intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) method for Amsterdam
Density Functional (ADF) code, and extensively examined the accuracy of
the DFT-based methods in describing static and dynamic properties of chemical
reaction systems as well as investigated a large variety of elementary
chemical reaction processes using the combined DFT and IRC methods. He
is currently engaging in a project that using the IRC and Car-Parrinello
ab initio molecular dynamic approaches on the basis of DFT to model the
catalytic processes of olefin polymerization by nickel- and palladium-based
diimine complexes.
