Research Interests:
My research involves first-principles and multiscale calculations of structural and electronic properties of materials, which range from inorganic crystalline, amorphous semiconductors, metals, and their nanostructures to organic materials, bio functional groups, and solutions. While my research interests are primarily in the fundamental physics of materials, they have always been inspired by the needs for sustainable energy and environment, technology leadership, and national security. Recent work includes (1) defect control in low-cost solar cell materials, (2) dynamics of water splitting, (3) physics of ultrafast phase change memory, (4) understanding the growth of high-quality topological insulators, (5) physics behind nano-catalysis, (6) emerging phenomena at the interface between superconductor and semiconductor or dielectric oxide, and (7) exotic two-dimensional materials beyond graphene. I have published about 280 peer reviewed papers with high impact to the fields (citations >11,000, Hirsch Index = 56).
