About
Minru Wen is a rising researcher in computational materials science, with a focus on two-dimensional (2D) materials and their piezoelectric properties. Their work centers on designing and predicting novel Janus structures—asymmetric 2D crystals—for next-generation energy harvesting and nanoelectronics. Wen’s most notable contribution, "High piezoelectricity Janus GaXI (X = S, Se, or Te): First-principles calculations" (2024), uses first-principles density functional theory to systematically explore the piezoelectric response of Janus GaXI monolayers. This study demonstrates that these materials exhibit exceptionally high piezoelectric coefficients, surpassing many known 2D systems, and identifies key structural and electronic origins of this enhancement. Though early in their career, Wen’s work has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing interest from the community. Their research bridges fundamental physics and applied device design, offering a roadmap for synthesizing high-performance, lead-free piezoelectric materials. By combining rigorous computational screening with clear physical insights, Wen is establishing themselves as a promising voice in the field of 2D materials and electromechanical systems.
