研究领域

My current research interest is to develop novel, efficient and reliable numerical algorithms and mathematical software tools for ground state and excited state electronic structure theories. I find this field particularly exciting because Scientifically, it is amazing that many (electronic, mechanical, optical) properties calculated from such first principle theories (i.e. the only input is atomic specicies and atomic positions. There is in principle no dependence on empirical or fitting parameters) can be directly compared to experimental results. Mathematically, the theories are relatively well defined. They also provide mathematical and computational challenges not commonly seen in other branches of applied mathematics. The complexity of electronic structure theories can range from high (like density functional theory) to very high (like configuration interaction), and hence numerical methods with reduced complexity are urgently needed in order to simulate ever larger relastic systems. This field had been active in physics and chemistry before computers even existed, and yet the field is still at its very early stage from the perspective of applied mathematics. In my view, "language barriers" are sometimes the biggest obstacle preventing mathematicians from understanding the problem. There is great potential for numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra tools to deeply impact this field.
