RESEARCH INTEREST
My general research interest is computational material science, including the microscopic structures and dynamics in novel materials, with the emphasis on the effect of electric voltages. In particular, I am interested in the emerging electronic and magnetic structures and interactions in low-dimensional materials, and the atomistic energetics and dynamics of the electrochemical process with heterogeneous catalysts.
