Research Experience
In the Computational Materials Research Laboratory (CMRL), the team focuses on discovering new materials for a wide range of applications and uncovering the underlying mechanisms behind many materials-related phenomena.
Background
Research interests include the physical and mechanical properties of materials and related phenomena. Through numerical simulation tools, we explore interactions at the electronic and atomic levels to develop innovative theoretical and computational frameworks that connect microscopic and macroscopic material characteristics.
