Postdoctoral Researcher
Dr. Huang joined the Computational Materials Science Team at NREL in 2010. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Wenhui Duan. His background is in solid-state physics and materials science based on first-principles electronic and transport calculations. Until now, he has published 20-plus peer-reviewed papers with a total citation of approximately 350 times.
