overview
............................................................................................................................................................................
Professor Wu obtained his
PhD degree from
Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, in 1989. He
did postdoctoral research at Northwestern University and was a
Professor
of Physics at California State University Northridge before joining
faculty
at UCI in 2001. He is a fellow of American
Physical Society.
research summary
............................................................................................................................................................................
State-of-the-art
first principles density
functional electronic structure calculations have achieved great
success
in many exciting fields in both explaining existing phenomena and, more
importantly, in predicting the properties of new systems. In the new
age
of information technology and novel man-made materials, computational
simulations
based on quantum mechanical equations can provide unprecedented
physical
insights to guide search and design of new materials and devises with
properties
desired. Professor Wu has been developing and applying methods and
codes
for theoretical studies of various materials properties such as
magnetic
anisotropy, magneto-optics, magnetostriction, linear and non-linear
optics,
transport, mechanical cohesion and catalysis of a wide range of
materials.
