Academic Information
Ph.D, CU, 2018
Research Interests
Experimental and computational condensed-matter physics and materials science, with emphasis on thermoelectricity, Heusler and other intermetallic alloys, and density-functional-theory (DFT) simulations. My work blends laboratory characterization with DFT-based modeling to probe electronic, structural, and transport properties of novel materials, builds small-scale HPC-enabled computational facilities, and involves collaborations with national research centres to access advanced instrumentation—aiming to translate fundamental materials understanding into device-relevant insights.
