I am a postdoc in physics department of temple university,and I received my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Jilin University (2008) and a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from University of Science and Technology of China.

Research Interests
My main research interests are in the first-principles design and understanding of ferroelectric, magnetic, and multiferroic
materials for sustainable energy technologies and next generation low-power electronic devices.  Besides complex bulk systems, I can also study some artificial materials such as defect, thin films, and heterostructures.
