Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr. Deng received his Ph.D. degree in physics from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2010. Hui-Xiong joined the Computational Materials Science Team at NREL in 2011. His primary interest is now focused on using the first-principles simulations to understand the electronic properties of semiconductors, transparent conducting oxides, and nanostructures.
Research Interests
- Electronic structures of semiconductors and transparent conducting oxides
