I am engaged in research on computational condensed matter physics, utilizing methods such as first-principles calculations, Green's functions, Wannier functions, and group theory to study quantum functional materials and their anomalous transport properties. Quantum functional materials mainly include topological insulators, topological semimetals, chiral antiferromagnets, altermagnets, two-dimensional materials, etc. The anomalous transport properties studied include anomalous/spin Hall effects, anomalous/spin Nernst effects, anomalous thermal Hall effects, orbital Hall/Nernst effects, and linear and nonlinear magneto-optical effects.
