His primary research interest lies in the statistical dynamics of microscale chemical systems. In recent years, he has developed statistical dynamics models and computational methods for the growth of two-dimensional materials, nano-electrocatalysis, and self-assembly. He has applied these methods to elucidate the mechanism of geometry-determined epitaxial growth of graphene, the selectivity mechanism of dynamically controlled bifunctional catalysts, the enhancement mechanism of kinetically controlled nano-electrocatalytic reactions, and the mechanisms of ordered self-assembly in nano and biological systems. To date, he has published multiple papers as first author (or co-first author) and corresponding author (or co-corresponding author) in journals such as Adv. Mater., WIREs Comput. Mol. Sci., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Nano Lett., ACS Nano, and ACS Catal..
