2013年5月30日，应材料化学工程国家重点实验室的邀请，新加坡国立大学副教授姜建文首次来到我们学校，在重点实验室A506报告厅为学院师生作了一场题为“Molecular Insights into Energy, Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications in Metal-Organic Frameworks”的精彩学术报告。报告会由任小明教授主持，相关研究领域的老师和学生参加了报告会。
姜建文教授的报告主要从MOFs(Metal-Organic Frameworks)材料在气相和液相方面的应用展开：二氧化碳的吸附（CO2 adsorption）、水分离纯化（H2O purification）、药物传送（drug delivery），从分子模拟视角介绍了不同MOFs材料的拓扑结构、孔道大小、孔道内基团的差异性，既而针对这些微小差异，将MOFs材料应用于上述不同领域。在介绍MOFs材料对于CO2的吸附应用时，主要提到了bottom-up strategies，functionalized MOFs和Ionic MOFs等方法来增强和改进MOFs结构，增加对CO2的吸附性能。此外姜教授还介绍了分子模拟对MOFs材料的性能的预测，以及对其骨架结构设计的重要性，因为这些理论模拟能够指导我们的实验，更高效率地优化出最合理的实验方案。
报告最后的提问阶段，在场的师生结合自己的研究课题，向姜教授提出科研上的疑问，姜教授与在场师生热情互动，积极、耐心地回答广大师生的提问。报告博得了大家的热烈掌声。
