TSUNEYUKI Shinji

Shinji Tsuneyuki is a faculty member in the Department of PHY at The University of Tokyo. His research interests lie in condensed matter physics theory, with a focus on developing and applying computational physics methodologies to study fundamental problems in the field. Current research areas include the properties and structural transformation of materials under high pressure, structures and reactions of atoms and molecules on solid surfaces, quantum effects of light particles in solids, impurities in ferroelectric materials, and the electronic structure of proteins.

Shinji Tsuneyuki is a researcher at The University of Tokyo, focusing on computational materials science and solid-state physics. His work primarily involves first-principles calculations to study the structural, electronic, and thermal properties of materials. He has conducted extensive research on anharmonic effects in solids, particularly in silica and thermoelectric clathrates, using molecular dynamics and lattice dynamics methods. His studies also explore the impact of rattlers on thermal conductivity, pressure-induced structural transformations, and the behavior of materials under extreme conditions. Additionally, he investigates superconductivity in compressed sulfur hydrides and the quantum behavior of protons in solid hydrogen.
