Welcome to Gen Yin’s Research Group

We do theoretical research to model, design and simulate the behaviors of charge, spin, heat and other elementary excitations in solid-state matters for the purposes of both fundamental understanding and device applications. Tools we typically use include density functional theory, Green’s function, Boltzmann equation, computational geometry, group theory, micromagnetic simulations and machine learning. We closely collaborate with experimentalists, aiming to explain observations and provide insights in the underlying principle.
