Yang-hao Chan is an assistant Research Associate in the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica. He received his BA and MS in physics from National Taiwan University in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He got his PhD in physics from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2013. Afterward, he worked as a Postdoc researcher in IAMS from 2014 to 2017. Before he comes back to IAMS he was a Project Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab 2017 to 2020.

We are a computational physics group. We apply first-principle method to study electronic sturcture and optical properties of materials. 

We are interested in developing real-time simulation method to study nonequilibrium quantum dynamics and ab initio many-body perturbation theory method. In particular we are working on Green's function formalism, DMRG, and density matrix methods. The application include emerging phenomena in strongly driven systems, nonlinear optical responses, time-resolved and pump-probe spectroscopy and quasi-particle properties beyond ground state calculations. We aim to unravel quasi-particle features in spectroscopy with first-principle diagrammatic based methods. We are also fascinated by the exotic quantum phases in strongly correlated systems. We are interested in developing numerical methods to understand their properties.
