Dr. Yuanxi Wang is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of North Texas (UNT). His research focuses on computational materials theory, particularly in 2D materials like graphene, 2D semiconductors, air-stable 2D metals, and layered topological materials. He employs advanced computational tools such as density functional theory (DFT), many-body perturbation theory, and empirical forcefields to study electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of materials. His work emphasizes collaboration with experimentalists to bridge theory and practical applications in quantum photonics, spintronics, and optoelectronics. Education: Ph.D. in Materials Science (Pennsylvania State University, 2016). Research interests include defect physics, nonlinear optics, crystal growth modeling, and superconductivity in 2D systems. His theoretical frameworks address challenges in material synthesis, interfacial engineering, and device functionality. Recent studies explore quantum confined luminescence, insulator-to-metal transitions in layered semiconductors, and spin-orbit torque generation in Pb/Graphene heterostructures. He has developed novel methods for stabilizing air-stable 2D metals and optimizing nonlinear optical properties of inorganic crystals. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed. His research group focuses on advancing 2D material theory through multiscale computational modeling and experimental collaboration.
