嘉宾简介

　　Dr. Li Zhu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Rutgers University-Newark. He received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Jilin University, China, where he developed a strong interest in computational physics and materials informatics under the guidance of Prof. Yanming Ma. After completing his Ph.D. in 2014, Dr. Zhu expanded his expertise through postdoctoral positions at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. Dr. Zhu joined Rutgers University-Newark in 2021, where he leads a research group focused on the theoretical design of quantum materials.

报告摘要

　　The discovery and design of new quantum materials represent critical frontiers in both fundamental physics and applied science, with the potential to revolutionize various technologies, including energy conversion and storage, quantum computing, and beyond. The ability to predict and design these materials opens up unprecedented opportunities for technological innovation. However, the design of new materials poses a complex and multifaceted challenge that intersects physics, chemistry, materials science, and computational science. One of the key challenges is the lack of a unified framework to systematically design multifunctional materials. Additionally, a primary hurdle is the computational complexity involved in accurately modeling and predicting the structures and properties of novel materials. In this talk, I will present our machine learning-based approaches to accelerate the exploration of energy landscapes and the design of clathrate-based quantum materials.
