Texas A&M University; Materials Science and Engineering Dept.
Qian is an associate professor in Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. Qian leads a research group on theory and simulation at Texas A&M.
Research
Qian’s research focuses on first-principles electronic structure theory, physics- and data-driven discovery of functional materials and quantum materials. Under reMIND, he develops modeling methods to connect electronic structure to transport properties. He further serves as the primary person for Data Management and will oversee center-wide commitments to Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles across reMIND.
