Greetings! I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Research Center for Applied Sciences (RCAS) in Academia Sinica, specializing in Computational Condensed Matter Physics. Working with Professor Yia-Chung Chang, Our research employs advanced computational techniques to investigate the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale. Collaborating closely with Prof. Chung-Yuan Ren from National Kaohsung Normal University, our work is guided by a commitment to intellectual honesty and self-awareness in scientific exploration. In recent breakthroughs, we've developed the Semi-Empirical Pseudopotential (SEPM) method, a computational tool enabling efficient study of electronic structures in materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides.
