Introduction

Dr. Johann Lüder is an assistant professor at the Department of Materials and Optoelectronic Science at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) in Kaohsiung. He develops machine learning approaches to advance computational material science methods, including theoretical X-ray spectroscopy simulation and first-principles methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Orbital-free DFT. He applies state of the art computational method to solve challenges regarding renewable energy, energy storage, catalytic conversion and molecular sensors at the nanoscale. 

Our lab aims to advance technology and the well-being of humans and nature by understanding and optimizing materials, their applications and conversion processes through computational modeling. We work at the interface between physics, chemistry and data science with close experimental collaborations. Fundamental science, first principles simulations, machine learning, and data science techniques are our most used tools for scientific investigations.

Job Description

In this internship you will apply your coding skills to build a AR tool. Using OpenCV, a feed from a webcam or phone will be augmented through a 3D model of atomic structure by recognizing a marker such as a QR code. You project will help students of all ages learn about the representation of atomic structure and how it affects the markup of materials.
