Lab Vision
My lab aims at using computational and theoretical methods to uncover materials' physical chemistry chemical physics for applications in energy management, mass transport, information processing, and human health improvement. My research interests include thermal transport, polymer science, interface engineering, nanotechnology, multi-scale simulation, machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence. I will develop Physics-based computational models with High Performance Computers. Through rigorous calculation and interdisciplinary collaboration, my research will have a broad impact in thermal physics, theoretical and computational chemistry, materials science, and data science.

- Polymers
Polymers are widely used in our daily lives, from everyday items to advanced electronics and aerospace applications. The Physical Chemistry and Chemical Physics of polymers remain unclear to scientists. Developing theoretical and computational simulation models for polymers, block copolymers, polymer blends, conjugated polymers, and other soft materials is important to the polymer science community.
2. Nanoparticles
2. Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles have broad applications in drug delivery, medical imaging, photonics, sensors, solar cells, batteries, and water treatment. Developing new nanotechnologies is essential for addressing global challenges in energy, environment, human health, and information technology. I will develop computational models to investigate new nanoparticles and nanostructures and to uncover their physical and chemical properties.
3. Interfaces
3. Interfaces
Engineered interfaces can regulate the transport process of energy, mass, and momentum, enabling emerging nanotechnologies in electronics, aerospace, and carbon capture applications. The physical mechanisms governing transport phenomena at interfaces are not yet fully understood. I will use theoretical and computational methods to investigate the fundamental properties of interfaces and to develop new materials.
Funding Opportunities
Funding Opportunities
My PhD and Postdoctoral research projects were supported by NSF and ARO. I plan to apply fundings from NSF and DOE to support my own research projects. I am also interested in building connections with NIH in developing nanotechnologies for biomedical applications. My computational resources were supported by NSF XSEDE/ACCESS, CRC at ND, and MARCC/Rockfish at JHU. In the future, I will relay on the university's internal HPC resource, and also apply for GPU and CPU resources from NSF ACCESS.
