semiconductors, ceramics, and high Tc superconductors.

• Fall 2005 - Spring 2006. Visiting Fellow, Visiting Associate Professor, Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University. Research in developing of a new method
for ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations for materials research. Teaching of
Engineering Mathematics.

• 1995 - 1996. Postdoctoral Research Associate, Concurrent Computing Laboratory for
Materials Simulations, Louisiana State University. Large-scale computations for the
electronic structure, charge transfer and charge distribution in α− and β−Si3N4 and in
Si(111)/Si3N4 interface.

• 1994 - 1995. Postdoctoral Research Fellow, GM R & D Center, and Department of
Materials and Engineering, University of Michigan. Large scale computations for the
electronic, structural, and mechanical properties of α-Al2O3 and Al2O3 (0001)/Cu (111)
interface.

• 1992-1994. Postdoctoral Research Associate, under the direction of Professor Joseph
Callaway, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University. Ab-initio
computations of the electronic structure, electron-phonon interaction, and superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7.
Successfully solved the anisotropic Eliashberg gap equations using an accurate electronic structure and phonon spectrum
for the studies of high Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7.

• 1988-1992. Research Assistant, Ames Laboratory, Department of Energy.
Successfully solved the problems in identifying the mechanism for the phonon anomaly
in β-phase NiTi [see, Phys. Rev. B 40, 7999(1989)]. This phonon anomaly is
responsible for a premartensitic phase transformation in NiTi. Prior to our work, several
other groups unsuccessfully attempted to solve this problem.

Computational Solid State Physics. Responsible for developing the computer codes for
the calculations of the optical and electronic transport properties of metallic glasses
using the ab-initio LCAO method. Large-scale ab-initio computations for the electronic,
optical, and electronic transport properties of amorphous materials.
