研究领域
We develop and apply atomistic simulation methods, especially quantum mechanical (first-principles) methods, to understand, design and discover materials for electronics and energy applications.
On the chemistry side, we study the electrochemical reactions for energy conversion and storage, such as water splitting, O2/CO2/N2 reduction, batteries and supercapacitors.
On the physics side, we study the electronic transport. By investigating the electron-phonon, electron-electron, and electron-defect interactions, we compute and analyze the electronic transport properties (e.g. mobility, conductivity, saturation velocity). These studies can help improve electronic and optoelectronic devices.
We have been studying 2D materials extensively.
We also have experience and interest in other topics, such as crystal growth, defects and thermo-catalysis, and are open to collaborations and new opportunities.
