12. SCIENTIFIC AND SOCIETAL IMPACT OF RESEARCH - Research summary: I contribute to two research fields: (i) low-dimensional nanomaterials, especially carbon nanomaterials, and their structural, mechanical, vibrational, electronic, and electromechanical properties. Research methods are computational and range from continuum and

classical force field methods to ab initio electronic structure methods, such as density-functional theory (DFT) and density-functional tight-binding (DFTB); and (ii) physics education research (PER), especially the development of teaching and assessment methods. - Publications summary: I have published 64 original peer-reviewed articles in major international journals, including 6 Physical Review Letters (IF=7.7), Nano Letters (IF=12.7), 2 Nanoscale (IF=7.4), 3 Applied Physics Letters (IF=3.5), 3 Scientific Reports (IF=5.1), 1 Nature Communications (IF=10.7), and 1 Nature Materials (IF=36.4) articles. Articles include 5 APS Editor’s suggestions, Nature Nanotechnology highlight, and two APS Physics synopses. - Citation metrics summary: total number of citations 2904, H-index 21, citations per article 45.4, five highest-cited articles have 560, 478, 224, 172, and 169 citations.
