Research Summary

My research interest is to model, design and simulate the transport of charge, spin, heat and other elementary excitations in solid-state matter for the purposes of both fundamental understandings and device applications. The research covers devices of various material systems of different length scales: from microscopic (atomic-level) to mesoscopic (10-100nm), and to macroscopic (large bulk materials). My research contains both first-principles numerical simulations and analytical modeling. The lab closely collaborates with experimentalists, aiming to explain the observations and provide insights in the underlying principle. See Research and Contact for more details. Opening for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are available.
