Research
Magnetismm
We are interested in understanding fundamental magnetic interaction and their response to various external stimuli, including electrostatic gating, mechanical strain, and inter-layer coupling.

Catalytic properties
We focus on CO2 reduction reaction. We engage in developing new force field for large-scale simulation of catalytic processes.
