研究方向
课题组主要基于热力学统计物理，利用经典分子动力学、蒙特卡洛和第一性计算的方法，开展平衡与非平衡统计物理及软凝聚态物理方面的研究，特别是不同维度下复杂体系的相变与临界现象，具体包括：
（1）液体-液体相变：液体的反常现象、结构、热力学和动力学行为；
（2）液体-晶体相变：成核和生长机制和理论，相关材料应用探索；
（3）液体-玻璃转变：玻璃转变机制和理论；
（4）玻璃-玻璃转变：非平衡相变的表征方法和理论研究；
我们的研究涉及物理、化学以及生物科学，属于基础研究与前沿科学的交叉领域。目前总共发表学术成果30余篇，包括Nature Materials , Nature Communications, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., Phys. Rev. Lett. 等杂志。其中无势垒结晶机制的发现被Chemistry World News、日本经济新闻报道。结晶理论的最新进展被J. Chem. Phys. 选为封面文章和Editor Picks. 获国家发明专利授权一项。我们在国内外有一流的科研环境，支持鼓励学生参加国内国际会议或者合作访问，为组内成员提供更大的发展平台。
