Bio
Shaofei is a postdoctoral researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. After completing her undergraduate degree in physics, she pursued a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics at the School of Nuclear Science and Technology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. After one year, she transitioned to the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the mentorship of Professor Fangwei Wang. Her research focuses on transport phenomena in materials such as ion batteries, hydrogen storage, and thermoelectric materials. Using DFT calculations, she investigates ion and heat transport, particularly the impact of interfaces, doping, and vacancies on Li/Na ion and hydrogen transport. She also applies Boltzmann transport theory to study heat transport and predict thermoelectric efficiency in semiconductors, such as Zintl-phase and half-Heusler compounds. Additionally, Shaofei has four years of experience at the China Spallation Neutron Source, where she conducted powder diffraction experiments. She excels at data analysis through python-based programming and is proficient in C, C++, and MATLAB. Her main research interests revolve around phonon and ion transport, and she is currently focused on using inelastic neutron scattering experiments to uncover phonon transport properties.
