Summary
Guodong Yu is an associate professor and theoretical researcher with nine years of experience studying two-dimensional materials and defects in semiconductors. He holds a PhD in condensed matter physics from Jilin University and has held postdoctoral positions at Université catholique de Louvain, Radboud University, and Wuhan University, where he developed custom density functional theory and tight-binding codes in Fortran 90 and Python. His work emphasizes electronic structure of low-dimensional systems such as twisted bilayer graphene and graphene quasicrystals, combining high-throughput defect calculations, MongoDB-backed data analysis, and algorithmic band unfolding. Based in Changchun, he blends deep theoretical insight with hands-on computational tool-building, often implementing core simulation routines himself. An understated strength is his track record of translating complex physics problems into robust, reusable code for large-scale materials studies.
