Open Positions
Looking for bright, ambitious, and motivated Ph. D and Masters students. They will work on
1) Density functional theory based exploration of 2D, Dirac and Topological materials
2) Collective density and spin excitations in different systems
3) Magneto-electro-thermal transport properties of topological insulators, Weyl semimetals etc.
Research Interests
All aspects of "Quantum transport and theory"
1) Dirac and Weyl semimetals: transport, electronic and optical properties
2) Ab-initio density functional theory based exploration of new 2D, Dirac, and topological materials
3) Collective density (plasmons) and spin excitations in various systems
4) Nanoscale device modelling
