Ming Yu

Ming Yu is Professor of Physics at the University of Louisville, specializing in condensed matter theory and computational materials science. His research focuses on developing quantum-mechanics based molecular dynamics simulations and investigating nanomaterial properties, particularly two-dimensional materials beyond graphene. Current projects include energy storage applications, strain-induced bandgap engineering, and van der Waals heterojunctions.

His work has applications in next-generation batteries, nano-sensors, and advanced materials design. Recent publications explore anisotropic properties of 2D materials and phase transitions under pressure.
