Dr. Wenjun Ding

I obtained my Ph.D. degree at the Department of Physics in the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) on 2017. After that I had been a postdoctoral researcher at the International Center for Quantum Design of Functional Materials (ICQD) in USTC for over 4 years, before joining Prof. Cheng-chien Chen’s group at UAB. My research interests lie in predicting and understanding the novel physical phenomena in functional materials, by employing state-of-the-art first-principles calculations, which involve the topics of two-dimensional ferroelectricity in In2Se3, high transition temperature superconductivity in CoSb and FeSe, and topological superconductivity in Co-based superconductors. In the future, I would like to focus on studying the intersection area between quantum physics, materials, and computations.

Beside researching and studying in UAB, I and my wife both enjoy this opportunity to travel aboard and see different cultures. We find that Birmingham is a nice city with good weather and warm-hearted residents. If there is some spare time, I also like to play or watch basketball games for fun.
