Research Interests

 

Dr Feng joined the Department of Physics, NUS in 1990. His research interest is in computational condensed matter & materials physics. A range of computational methods/techniques is used to investigate fundamental properties of various types of materials, to design new materials, and to simulate physical processes related to materials and life sciences. Dr. Feng’s present research is mainly focused on ab initio electronic structure calculation of fundamental properties of materials for advanced technologies, and prediction of new materials based on ab initio calculations. Projects of current interest include dilute magnetic semiconductors, high k materials, semiconductor and metal surfaces and interfaces, etc. He has authored/co-authored more than 200 scientific papers in international refereed journals and one book.
