研究方向：
1. 热电材料。热电材料可实现热能和电能之间的直接相互转换，是一种全固态能量转换技术.目前限制热电技术应用的主要问题是现有热电材料的热电转换效率比较低。因此，探索新的研究思路和方法来有效提高塞贝克系数和电导率就显得十分重要。本方向采用理论和实验相结合的方法，发展能够同时改善材料塞贝克系数和电导率的新途径.
2. 界面自旋电子学。电场控制磁性是实现高存储密度并降低磁转换能量的重要途径。钙钛矿氧化物界面能够产生体相无法实现的新奇量子态，为实现电场控制磁性提供了一个丰富的平台。钙钛矿氧化物界面磁性对自旋、电荷、轨道、晶格的敏感依赖性，使得电场调控磁性成为可能。本方向以钙钛矿氧化物界面为研究对象，采用密度泛函理论方法系统研究钙钛矿氧化物界面处电子结构和磁性调控机制。
