Profile
Dr Kah-Meng YAM
Research Fellow
Dr Kah-Meng Yam received his BSc and PhD from the National University of Singapore under the tutelage of Prof Chun Zhang. His research interests are in first-principles based modelling and simulation at the nanoscale. Specific foci include: (1) prediction of new two-dimensional materials, (2) design of functional materials for catalysis, electronic transport devices, thermo-electrics, etc, and (3) developing theoretical framework for modelling nonequilibrium quantum systems. During his time at CARES, Dr Yam worked to elucidate the catalytic activity and selectivity of copper-based electrocatalysts.
