John S. Tse

个人简介

Tse’s research focussed on rationalizing the fundamental principles governing the structure, stability and thermodynamics of materials and the prediction of material behaviour. The objective is to provide the guiding principles for the rational design of novel functional materials. To achieve this goal, we developed new theoretical models, implemented new computational techniques and performed experiments to validate the principle.
