Research Summary

By means of first-principles calculation, we study non-trivial electronic properties of correlated/topological materials. We also aim at predicting intriguing phenomena originating from many-body correlations and designing novel functional materials/systems. The long-term goal of our research is to establish new guiding principles for materials design. We are also interested in the development of new methods for electronic structure calculation.
