Personal Statement
I am interested in how structural and functional materials manifest their properties from atomic to macroscopic lengthscales. Advanced structural/functional materials exhibit excellent synergy of mechanical strengths/ductility and functional properties (electron transports, for example). Crystalline defects, such as point defects, dislocations, and stacking faults, have profound influences on the mechanisms that lead to intriguing and superior properties of most alloys and intermetallics. I develop methods and tools to understand and predict the mechanical and electronic properties in metallic alloys and intermetallics, in order to facilitate the search and design of novel materials in the vast chemical space.

Here is a highlight of my work on Google Scholar. Check out my projects on my Github.
