About

I do first-principles computational research in materials science, that is, I adopt fundamental theories of physics at the atomistic scale to the computer to calculate and predict material properties. My interests include electron and thermal transport, lattice dynamics, and phase transitions. I have studied thermoelectrics, battery materials and interfaces, and shape-memory alloys, both independently and in collaboration with experimentalists.
