He is mainly engaged in the research of excited state quantum dynamics and ultrafast processes, devoted to exploring the interaction between condensed matter materials and external fields, and developing time-dependent density functional software packages based on first principles. Current research interests include:
1) Mechanism and regulation of photoinduced phase transition;
2) High order harmonic generation in solid materials;
3) photoelectron emission with low vinametric structure;
4) Photocracking of energetic materials and its nuclear quantum effect.
