Postdoctoral Fellow Center for Computational Materials
Qi received his Ph.D. in Materials Science from Columbia University in 2024. His doctoral research involved conducting systematic studies of the electronic and thermodynamic properties of structurally complex deep-earth minerals. He specialized in using ab initio and statistical-mechanics methods, such as density functional theory, density functional perturbation theory, and the quasi-harmonic approximation, and developed custom high-throughput workflows to automate large-scale simulations on supercomputing platforms. He completed his undergraduate studies with a B.Sc. in Physics from Zhejiang University.
