About:
Since 2018.12  Institute of Physics, CAS      Associate Professor
2014.12-2018.11      Princeton University, UA     Postdoc
2009.9-2014.7   Institute of Physics, CAS           Ph.D.

Research interests:
Focus mainly in the calculation of condensed matter physics, using large-scale parallel computers to calculate and simulate the properties of materials, to explore the physical laws of the microscopic system.
1) topological insulators and first-principles calculations;
2) magnetic materials and correlated electronic systems;
3) topological superconductors and other exotic phenomena.

Students:
Recruit 2-3 graduate students or postdoc.

Achievements and recent publications:
1) We have established a new band theory of "Topological Quantum Chemistry", and developed an open-source package to diagnose the topology of any material ("VASP2trace" and "CheckTopologicalMat": www.cryst.ehu.es/cryst/checktopologicalmat). Eventually, we are able to predict thousands of topological materials of ICSD database from high-throughput calculations(An available hands-on note @ https://github.com/zjwang11/shared-docs/blob/master/vasp2trace-HandsOn.pdf).
