Theoretical and Computational Physics
Theoretical and Computational Physics studies various kinds of computational calculations including first-principles DFT, effective medium theory, molecular dynamics, analytical modelling, and numerical simulations, etc. to predict materials properties and structures for 2D materials, interface and heterostructures; flow of glassy polymer nanofilms; electron transport in solid-state quantum devices; formation of nanostructures in strained thin films; machine learning and high-throughput calculations; photonic crystals, topological photonics, plasmonic nanostructures, metamaterials, transformation optics, optomechanics of structured nanomaterials, and phononic crystals, etc.
