    Current Research

  • Probing the mechanical property of single graphene sheets using classical molecular simulation method.
  • Development of BOP(Bond order potential) based on tight-binding models.
  • First-principles study of electron and/or spin transport in molecular-electronics.
    I'm working with my supervisor Dr. Oleynik Nickel Alumina Resource, MTJ, Notes. Current project.
  • Self-consistent tight-binding molecular dynamics.
    I was working with my Ph.D. advisor Professor J. W. Halley on self-consistent tight-binding molecular dynamical study of water-metal oxide interactions. We have several projects going on:
  • Water and metal oxide self-consistent tight-binding models are set up. However, they still need some fine tuning.
  • We are currently focusing on applying O(N) method (A method that will make the calculation time increase linearly with the size of the system increases) to speed up the calculations.
