Feng Gao

Feng Gao, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Southern University and A&M College, affiliated with the High Performance Computing Lab. He holds a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Shandong University (2011), an M.S. in Atomic and Molecular Physics from Ludong University (2007), and a B.S. in Physics from Dezhou University (2004). His research focuses on high-pressure/temperature studies of high entropy alloys, non-precious-metal catalysts for fuel cells, and magnetism simulation in materials. Dr. Gao has extensive experience in computational modeling, including first-principles simulations and experimental validation of material properties. He has contributed to over 10 peer-reviewed publications and a patent on carbon nanostructure synthesis. His work bridges computational physics with practical applications in energy and materials science.

Professional experience includes roles as a Postdoctoral Research Associate (2011-2014), Full-Time Adjunct Professor (2015-2019), and his current tenure-track position since 2020. His research trends emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to material design, with recent work targeting biomedical applications of high-entropy alloys and catalyst efficiency in fuel cells. Grants and funding details are not explicitly stated, but his publications suggest active engagement in federal or institutional research programs. Dr. Gao collaborates with the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) and leads projects in the High Performance Computing Lab, focusing on advanced computational infrastructure for material discovery.
