Description: Postdoc/Research assistant positions are available in the Dr. Yongqing Cai group at the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME) at the University of Macau (UM) in the area of computational materials and physics. The goals are to develop fundamental understanding of phenomena at atomic scale, including electronic structure, optical properties, and phononic and thermal conductions by using quantum simulations. The applicants with experience in the following topics are encouraged to apply:

(1) Excited states simulation

(2) Materials for energy storage

(3) Phonons and phase transitions

(4) High-throughput/AI simulation

The project will investigate the energetics and transport of quasiparticles across nanomaterials and examine the role of the interface.  

 Should you have any queries regarding the positions, please contact Dr. Yongqing Cai ([email protected]).
