Doctor Wu Menghao received his bachelor's degree in the Department of Intensive Instruction from Nanjing University, China, in 2007 and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, in 2011. In January 2012, he joined Virginia Commonwealth University, USA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. In December 2013, he joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Since 2014, he has been a Professor in the School of Physics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. His research interests include theoretical calculations (density functional theory, molecular dynamics) on low-dimensional nanostructures and focus on exploring their physical and chemical properties, and their potential applications in data or energy storage.
