PhD students:

Kwangrae Kim

Kwangrae Kim is currently a Ph.D. student in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He obtained his B.S. and M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Yonsei University in South Korea, where he studied anharmonic lattice dynamics and phase transitions using first-principles calculations. His current research interest focuses on  charge carrier transport through first-principles methods.

Ruoyu Wang

Ruoyu earned his B.S. in Physics from SUSTech in 2020. In the fall of 2021, he joined Yuanyue Liu’s research group. Bravely, he is working on developing machine learning force fields and their applications in electrocatalysis at surfaces. He often feels he doesn’t work hard, but at the same time, he hopes he will always feel this way and keep the desire to do better. By the way,
he loves barbeque, roguelike, and Rachmaninoff.

Rongjing Guo

Rongjing received his B.S. in Physics from Shandong University in 2021. He joined Liu’s group in fall of 2021. His research focuses on developing accurate and efficient first-principle methods for carrier transport with defects such as point defects, surface/edges and grain boundaries in two-dimensional materials. Rongjing enjoys playing the piano and soccer in his spare time.
