Dr. Xianlong Wang received his Ph.D in condensed matter physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Solid State Physics in 2008.

Research interests
Computational simulation based on the first-principle method, the first-principle simulation, is a way to explore the physical and chemical properties of materials without empirical parameters and relying only on the physical raw. The first-principle simulations play an important role in the field of high-pressure physics and advanced energy materials. The research interests of this group are analyses of materials under high-pressure and application of low-dimensional materials in the field of advanced energy.
