We are Materials Theory and Simulation Group, and are broadly interested in:
- Quantum ab-initio theory for real materials
- Machine Learning and material database generation
- Topological phase of insulators and metals
- MXene: non van der Waal two-dimensional material
- Physics and chemistry of hydrogen interactions with materials
- Hydrogen generation and storage
- Mechanical, structural, electronic, and magnetic, properties of nanostructures including graphene, nanowires, nanotubes, and nanoclusters
- Theory of defects, impurities, doping and diffusion in bulk and reduced dimensional systems
- Thermal and electrical transport
- Quasiparticle and optical excitations
