Hi, I'm Chung
PhD student in Condensed Matter and Material Physics and LCN groups at UCL, studying quadruple perovskites and ferroelectrics using density functional theory. Mathematics and Physics graduate from the University of Warwick. Interested in developing and contributing to novel computing techniques to probe material properties, particularly those in optics and magnetism.
Please feel free to reach out to me!
Projects
A computational study of Na-K-Sb photocathodes
An international, funded research internship at the Electronic Structure Theory group at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. There, I used density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory to probe the optical response of excited states of Na-K-Sb phases.
Status: Complete.
Moire Phonons in Twisted Bilayers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
My research project undertaken in 2023, to study the localised phonon modes of TMDs using simulation models and machine-learned interatomic potentials.
Status: Complete.
Personal Blog
My personal website and blog powered by Vue 3 + Nuxt 3.
Status: Currently exploring CMS backends..
Other Projects
CONQUEST2a
Dependency-free, easy-to-use Python script to convert CONQUEST coordinate files into VASP and XYZ formats
Status: Ongoing.
Development Flake
A Nix flake intended to setup reproducible programming contexts (currently C/C++, Python, LaTeX, Node/Web development) with a focus on scientific development and visualisation. Features modularity, hermeticity and direct integration with VSCode. Originally created for my own usage. Works best on nix-based systems.
Status: Ongoing.
Web Scraper
Discord bot that feeds you the latest from websites. Currently in the works and will be open-sourced at a future date. Written in Python.
Status: Ongoing.
Physics Notes
Notes I have contributed to and/or written for Warwick Physics students.
Status: Ongoing.
VSCode Firefox Quantum Themes
A simple VSCode theme designed to replicate the feel of Mozilla Firefox's DevTools. Written in TypeScript.
Status: Paused.
dotfiles
Ever-evolving declarative configuration files for my personal NixOS setup with Nix Flakes. Manages multiple systems, secrets management through sops-nix (mozilla-sops); reproducible and hermetic project management through direnv with a focus on scientific and software development; declarative and reproducible home environments with home-manager.
Status: Ongoing.
