Research Interests
- Computational and theoretical condensed matter and materials research
- Advanced multiscale modeling methods across microscopic, mesoscopic, and continuum scales, for the study of complex structural, elastoplastic, and dynamical phenomena and the underlying mechanisms in solid and soft spatiotemporal material systems
- Applications of the multiscale models developed to the research of materials growth, evolution, and processing, system elasticity, plasticity, and topological defects, and nonequilibrium phenomena in complex pattern or nanostructure formation
- Theory, modeling, and simulation of active matter and living systems that are intrinsically out of equilibrium

- WSU Career Development Chair Award, 2014
- WSU College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Excellence in Teaching Award, 2009
- National Science Foundation CAREER Award, 2009
