Biography

Wenhui Mi is a professor (2021-present) in College of Physics and International Center of Future Science, Jilin University, P. R. China. Then he moved to Duke university and Rutgers university as a postdoctoral researcher (2016-2021). His research interests mainly focus on the development of large-scale electronic structure methods and related software packages, towards understanding the nature of mesoscopic materials. He has developed a series of computational methods, based on orbital-free density functional theory, and participated in the development of the ATLAS and DFTpy software as the key developer. He also proposed the nonlocal subsystem density functional theory and developed the related software eQE2.
