Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYongxin Yao is a senior theoretical physicist with 11 years of experience leading research programs at Ames Laboratory in electronic structure theory, many-body physics, quantum materials, and quantum computing. He develops quantum-classical embedding methods to compute ground, excited, and dynamical properties of correlated materials and is a principal developer of Gutzwiller density functional theory and rotationally-invariant Slave-Boson software. At Ames he conceives and directs multidisciplinary teams, secures DOE funding, and builds collaborations with leading theoretical and experimental groups. Trained with a PhD in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics from Iowa State and earlier degrees from Nanjing University, he combines deep theoretical insight with practical method implementation. An active researcher with a consistent publication record, he brings a rare blend of many-body formalism and software craftsmanship to problems at the frontier of quantum simulation.
