2014年以來以第一作者或通訊作者身份在Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Energy Storage Materials等雜志發(fā)表SCI論文25篇，并多次在國際會議中做邀請報告。

極端條件材料模擬研究中心

中心主要開展材料在核輻照和高溫高壓等極端條件下的多尺度計算模擬研究工作，涉及材料、物理、信息、人工智能等前沿學(xué)科。目前承擔(dān)國家重點研發(fā)計劃專項3項(1項首席、1項課題負(fù)責(zé)、1項參加)和國家自然科學(xué)基金11項。中心聚焦于材料基因工程的以下三個方向：

先進裂變堆和未來聚變堆先進核能系統(tǒng)中的基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)和關(guān)鍵技術(shù)問題

先進武器系統(tǒng)中關(guān)鍵部位材料在動態(tài)載荷下的響應(yīng)行為

新型高能量密度電池核心材料的設(shè)計與性能預(yù)測

中心與美國密歇根大學(xué)、普度大學(xué)、中國科學(xué)院(等離子體所，近代物理所等)、中國工程物理研究院、中國原子能科學(xué)研究院、北京大學(xué)、天津大學(xué)等國內(nèi)外知名研究機構(gòu)密切合作，建立了研究生聯(lián)合培養(yǎng)機制。

畢業(yè)生就職于IT行業(yè)、科研院所、高等院校等。
