About me

I am Fan Zheng, a postdoc fellow working in Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. chemistry. I am a theoretical material scientist. Instead of synthesizing a material on a bench, I prefer to use supercomputers to model the material, understand the deep science, or even design a material which never exists before.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Unversity of Pennsylvania in Dec/2016, department of chemistry. My thesis is focusing on solar cells, particularly, concerning mechanism of the bulk photovoltaic effect and halide perovskite.more

Research Interest

I develop and use ab initio methods to simulate carrier dynamics in materials. By developing and applying the first-priniciple’s computation methods, I am interested in illustrating the ultrafast process of the excited carriers’ motion in various materials/devices, including bulk materials, interfaces, chemical reactions, and nano-materials. Understanding these processes will help to design more efficient materials or devices. more
