Research Interests:

Understanding and Predicting Functional Material Properties

My research group focuses on understanding and predicting functional material properties using first-principles electronic structure methods. We develop and apply these methods, which can predict, with quantitative accuracy, the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of materials from the basic laws of quantum mechanics. The goals of this research are to extract physical intuition about, and ultimately to design, new outstanding materials.

Education:

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Princeton University
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California Berkeley
