We, as a team at CMTCL, tackle the Hamiltonian of interacting electrons to provide theoretical insights into solid materials. Our research primarily focuses on understanding how electrons' spin, charge, orbital, and lattice interactions play out in crystalline solids. I specialize in strongly correlated electron systems and emerging quantum materials, particularly exploring non-trivial topological quantum phases in recent work.

In addition to fundamental research, CMTCL is dedicated to applied materials science, including energy storage, molecule functionalization on surfaces, and material design. To achieve these goals, our team utilizes techniques like ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations and transition state theory-based NEB simulations to study ion diffusion in electrode materials and surface interactions with semiconductors, metals, and alloys.
