【Area of expertise】 Computational materials science
【Research interest】 Analysis of phase stability and estimation of various materials properties (e.g., thermal expansion, elastic constant, Curie temperature, and Seebeck coefficient) in equilibrium and non-equilibrium states using first-principles calculations combined with thermodynamic approaches, such as cluster variation method, path probability method, and steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamic model.
