Zhao Tang

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), affiliated with the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. My research goals include advancing electronic structure methods derived from first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), with a specific emphasis on improving algorithms for calculations such as GW and Bethe Salpeter equation (BSE). I am also passionate about applying these methods to explore the properties of materials, with a particular interest in 2D materials and defects.
