We are a theoretical group led by Prof. Chen Hu. Our group's research interest is engaged in the fields of computational material science and theoretical condensed matter physics. We focus on theoretically understanding and predicting novel quantum material physics and nanoscience at the fundamental level, by developing and employing advanced theoretical methodologies and computational techniques — particularly state-of-the-art first-principles approaches. 

We are interested in quantitatively accessing various physical properties of cutting-edge quantum materials and nanodevices, including complex many-electron correlations, field-induced ultrafast dynamics, photoexcitation phenomena, topological properties, quantum transport, and out-of-equilibrium behaviors among multiple degrees of freedom (electrons, excitons, photons, phonons, and spins).
