Prior to this, I earned my master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida, USA and Jiangsu University, China, respectively. After studying in the field of materials science for so long, I still feel that I have so much to learn and explore.

 My research focus on exploring electron-phonon interations in materials and devices. Electron-phonon interactions refer to the coupling between electrons (the primary charge carriers in materials) and phonons (quanta of vibrational energy in the material's lattice structure). This coupling is fundamental in dictating material's electrical conductivity, thermal properties, and optical behaviors. In semiconductor devices, for instance, electron-phonon interactions can lead to energy dissipation, affecting the performance of devices like transistors, solar cells, batteries, photoelectrochemical cells, etc. Understanding and manipulating these interactions opens up possibilities for minimizing energy losses and enhancing performance. My research employs first-principles simulations, a theoretical approach grounded in quantum mechanics. Efforts are still ongoing to enhance the efficiency of these simulations, while maintaining their accuracy and parameter-free predictive capabilities.
