My research lies at the interface of condensed matter theory and scientific software engineering, focusing on the fundamental physics of electron–phonon interactions and polaron transport.
My current focus is developing Tensor Cross Interpolation (TCI) methods for evaluating polaron Feynman diagrams in real materials — bridging model Hamiltonians with first-principles systems. I have built PolaronTCISolver (C++23) as the numerical engine of this effort, and CrystalCanvas (WebGPU/C++) for crystal modeling and DFT workflow preparation.
Applying Quantics Tensor Cross Interpolation (QTCI) to evaluate high-dimensional electron–phonon Feynman diagrams beyond Migdal approximation for multi-orbital polaron systems.
Investigating how crystal symmetry modulates polaron type, transport anisotropy, and dielectric screening in transition-metal oxides (BiVO₄, CeO₂) via DFT and DFPT.
Building high-performance physics software: PolaronTCISolver (C++23 TCI engine with 2,000,000× compression) and CrystalCanvas (GPU crystal modeling).
