Linjiang is hugely passionate about the interface between Chemistry and Computer Science and has a strong devotion to the mission of fusing chemical knowledge with state-of-the-art computer science to develop and deploy best-in-class solutions to help address global environmental sustainability challenges, such as changing climate and plastic re/up-cycling. With a joint appointment between the Schools of Chemistry and Computer Science at Birmingham, Linjiang is developing the various research strands outlined in the Research section, through building strong collaborations with colleagues in both Schools and, more broadly, researchers in the chemical sciences and computational sciences communities. Linjiang firmly believes that the interfaces between different scientific disciplines often nucleate the most exciting and impactful research and that the development of technical capabilities for boundary-crossing research can often catalyse new thinking, new hypotheses, and new collaborations.

Linjiang has published over 40 research papers in scientific journals and co-authored two patent applications. Linjiang has (co-)supervised over 10 PhD students in Chemistry and Computer Science.

Linjiang is always keen to interact and collaborate with researchers who are passionate about digital chemistry, computational materials design, and applied AI for scientific discovery.
