Su-Huai Wei - Team Leader
Dr. Su-Huai Wei is a Principal Scientist in the Center for Basic Sciences at NREL and the team leader for Computational Materials Science. He received a B.S. in Physics from Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in 1981 and a Ph.D. in Physics from the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1985. He joined NREL in 1985.
His current research is focused on developing first-principles electronic structure theory of solids, which includes studying:
-
Electronic structures and stabilities of alloys, superlattices. and interfaces
-
Magnetic properties of semiconductors
-
Optoelectronic properties of photovoltaic and light-emitting materials
-
Electronic properties of organic and hybrid semiconductors
-
Defect physics in semiconductors and quantum dots
-
Hydrogen storage materials.
He has published more than 210 peer-reviewed papers, including more than 50 articles in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review Rapid Communications. His papers have been cited more than 6,000 times. Since 1999, he has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
