Wai-Ning Mei, Professor, has been on the University of Nebraska at Omaha faculty since 1984.
He is a condensed matter theorist. Research areas include: structural determination of surfaces using
multiple-scattering analysis of the low-energy and photo-electron spectra, lattice dynamics of long chain molecules,
total energy calculations using FLAPW and Self-Consistent Atom Deformation method, rotational and vibrational spectra of
adsorbed molecules, phase transition in two dimensional systems, electronic properties of nanostructures, molecular dynamics studies of alkali halides, ferroelectric sulphates, nitrates, and polymers, application of variational methods to the anharmonic and double-well potentials. He is the author or coauthor of over 75 publications 28 of which are listed in his vita. Recently, he visited the Chinese University of Hong Kong, National Chiao-Tung University, Academic Sinica, Taiwan, Republic of China, and Zhongshan University, GuangZhou, People's Republic of China, where he served as the visiting professor.
