Research Associate
Dr. Zhu joined NREL in Sep. 2009 as a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Materials Science Team. He received his B.A. in physics from the Beijing University, China, and gained his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering in 2009 at University of Utah, under the supervision of Prof. Feng Liu and Prof. G. B. Stringfellow. He is experienced in modeling and simulating of surface related problems, strain and stress effects, and doping in semiconductor materials.
Research Interests
- Doping properties in semiconductors and insulators
- Stress induced effects
- Thermal energy storage materials
