DeLiang Bao

Dr. DeLiang Bao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Hampton University. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2018, preceded by M.S. and B.S. degrees in Condensed Matter Physics from Shandong Normal University.

• Education:
  • B.S. in Applied Physics (Shandong Normal University, 2011)
  • M.S. in Condensed Matter Physics (Shandong Normal University, 2014)
  • Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics (UCAS, 2018)

Dr. Bao specializes in Computational Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Materials, focusing on Machine Learning-Driven Multiscale Simulations and Vibrational Properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials. His research bridges quantum-mechanical calculations with machine learning to analyze structural, electronic, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties of 2D and 3D materials.

His publications (over 45 in journals like Nature, Nature Materials, and Advanced Materials) highlight collaborations with experimentalists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, and University of Virginia. His work spans carbon hybridization, vibrational spectroscopy, graphene nanoribbons, and oxide superlattices.

Dr. Bao mentors undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, emphasizing hands-on training, critical thinking, and professional development. He contributes to the academic community through service roles, including chairing sessions at the American Physical Society (APS) March Meeting, reviewing for the National Science Foundation (NSF), and refereeing for leading physics journals.
