Incoming Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Rutgers University-New Brunswick

[Austin Cheng @auhcheng]

Excited to share Quetzal, a simple but scalable model for building 3D molecules atom-by-atom.

🐉 Named after Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god of creation

We equip a standard causal transformer with a per-atom diffusion MLP to model the continuous 3D position of the next atom.

@zhcui0408 Thanks for this beautiful work!

[Zhihao Cui @zhcui0408]

The last paper of my PhD is finally published. It is a long journey and many thanks to all collaborators😊!

Check out the paper for a full ab initio treatment of the long-standing high-temperature superconductivity problem🧐!

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

Our work on a new NNQS is officially online today! For #quantumchemistry, we introduced a highly flexible neural network ansatz for fermionic wavefunctions. For #machinelearning, we have solved the topological mismatch in normalizing flows. Check it out! https://t.co/RYvsoatqLf

[Princeton University @Princeton]

Congratulations to #PrincetonU professor emeritus John Hopfield, awarded the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physics alongside @UofT's Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” https://t.co/g65tiOECBz 👏

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

A master of theoretical chemistry and a great advisor.

[Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering @CaltechCCE]

Exciting news!
A $30 million lead gift – from former Caltech postdocs Drs. Jack Zhang and Mary Luo – endows the Rudolph A. Marcus Center for Theoretical Chemistry. This gift pays tribute to the decades of friendship and support provided by Prof. Marcus.

Dear colleagues and friends, summer is known for being busy with #traveling and #conferences.
This summer, let's bring our own water bottles to the conferences to save paper cups! #BYOB #ethicalresearch #scientificconferences

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

Very proud of my sister, who recently defended her PhD!

Bo’s CVPR paper. A perfect example in which geometry plays an impotent role in deep learning. On the other hand, DL expands capabilities of geometry. The open problem of having a 3D Tutte embedding is obtained by composing 2D ones.

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

Big thanks to the ACTC organizers. I’ve had much fun learning about my folks’ research and making new friends.
Special thanks to the chair David Beratan @BeratanGroup for the honor.

[Scuseria Research Group @ScuseriaGroup]

Dr. Chong Sun @ChongSun20 won the ACTC 2024 @uncchemistry Chair's Poster Award. Congratulations, Dr. Sun!

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

@Jiajun__Du @Lu_Wei8 @kunmiao95 Congratulations Dr. Du!

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

I will discuss my recently published work on accurately representing a set of orthogonal determinants with non-orthogonal determinants.
See you at the ACTC meeting!

New paper alert: React-OT: Optimal Transport for Generating Transition State in Chemical Reactions (https://t.co/RwXUSEISmq). React-OT formulates TS search as a transport problem, approaching chemical accuracy while taking only 0.5 seconds in inference on a single GPU. #compchem

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

Our work on selected non-orthogonal configuration interaction (SNOCI) is officially in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation @JCIM_JCTC, @ACSPublications.

Many thanks to my collaborators Fei Gao and Prof. Gustavo Scuseria @ScuseriaGroup

[James Shee @james_shee]

The 1st paper from the Shee lab has been accepted, entitled “On the notion of strong correlation in electronic structure theory”! Congrats to our outstanding postdoc Dr. Brad Ganoe @RiceUniversity @ChemistryRice

[Dongjun Kim @gimdong58085414]

We sadly found out our CTM paper (ICLR24) was plagiarized by TCD! It's unbelievable😢—they not only stole our idea of trajectory consistency but also comitted "verbatim plagiarism," literally copying our proofs word for word! Please help me spread this.

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

My recent work on disordered quantum systems and many-body localization (MBL). This short article is filled with new perspectives.
Anyone working on #QuantumComputing should learn about MBL, which defers quantum decoherence.

@RoVargasHdz Or to impress the reviewers with the long writing.

[Chong Sun 孙冲 @ChongSun20]

10 years ago, PRL articles generally don't have supplemental materials.
But today, every single PRL has a long supplemental. What happened? Physics cannot be described concisely anymore? #physicalreview
