Gao Guoying

Dr. Gao Guoying received his Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China, in 2008. After graduating from HUST, he joined the School of Physics, HUST. He is presently an Associate Professor in the School of Physics, HUST. His research was focused on the design of high-spin-polarized materials (half-metallic magnets and spin gapless semiconductors), thermoelectric materials, spintronic devices and spin caloritronic devices, by using the first-principles combined with nonequilibrium Green's function and Boltzmann transport equation. As the first or corresponding author, he has published more than 40 SCI papers. He is the reviewer of more than 20 SCI journals including Appl. Phys. Lett., Nanoscale, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, Phys. Lett. A, etc.
