A paper co-authored by Jing Wang and (chemistry graduate student) David Ackerman, students in Jim Evans' research group, has just been accepted by one of the most prestigious and selective high-impact publications, Physical Review Letters.

The trio submited Generalized hydrodynamic treatment of the interplay between restricted transport and catalytic reactions in nanoporous materials, for which Wang ran mathematical modeling and analyisis while Ackerman conducted computer simulations.

This is not the first time their work has received acclaim.

A paper they coauthored (Ackerman, Wang, Wendel, Liu, Pruski and Evans) last year --Catalytic converson reactions mediated by single-file diffusioin in linear nanopores: hydrodynamic versus stochastic behavior -- published last year in the Journal of Chemical Physics was recently recognized with a JCP Editor's Choice 2011 designation for presenting ground-breaking research.
