Hao-Jen You

Welcome to my website. I am currently a Research Assistant at the Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, with a primary focus on theoretical research. My work involves the exploration of new materials, leveraging first-principle calculations and machine learning to predict their properties. Additionally, I am engaged in experimental research in two key areas: the development of innovative hybrid thermoelectric materials and thin film devices. These endeavors are crucial for advancing next-generation flexible devices.
