Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Santa Barbara United States
Graduate Researcher, Advisor: Prof. Bolin Liao Sep. 2019- Present
Phonon Properties in Topological Materials
 Calculated phonon dispersions, electron-phonon couplings and lattice thermal conductivity in several
Dirac semimetals (Cd3As2, HgTe) using first-principles methods.
 Found existence of ultrasoft optical phonons, which contributed to low lattice thermal conductivity.
Electric Field Effect on Thermal Conductivity in Wurtzite Gallium Nitride (GaN)
 Calculated phonon dispersions and lattice thermal conductivities of wurtzite GaN with and without
electric fields using ab initio methods.
 Completed mode by mode phonon scattering analysis to explain the opposite trends of changes in
thermal conductivity along different directions
 Analyzed the change of anharmonicity of bonds to explain the significant change of thermal
conductivity in the presence of an electric field by doing regular residue analysis.
