Research Areas
Research Interests
My research interests focus on studying the effects of ion-beam irradiation on metals and metal oxides, both in two-dimensional and bulk forms. I also study ab-initio DFT computations to explore the electronic properties of advanced materials, alongside investigating radiation damage in nuclear materials used in reactor experiments. The combination of experimental and theoretical methods is used to deepen the understanding of material behaviors and improve energy storage and nuclear safety applications.
