Light matter interaction

• My research interests lie in the world of quantum materials with fascinating ground state properties such as charge density waves, quantum spin liquids, quantum magnetism, and superconductivity and topological properties. The underlying properties of these materials are probed using inelastic light Raman scattering technique under different external perturbations such as temperature, pressure, and magnetic field, where the intricate competing interactions between different degrees of freedom (spin, lattice, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom) are of particular research interest.

• In addition to experimental work, I also use computational tools, such as density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), to understand the electronic and structural properties of these materials. DFT allows us to calculate the electronic structure of the materials, which is critical for understanding the ground state properties of these quantum materials. DFPT, on the other hand, enables us to calculate the vibrational properties of the materials and provides insight into the coupling of the electric and lattice degrees of freedom. 

Overall research aims to enhance our understanding of the these intricate and complex strongly comaterials and pave the way for the development of new quantum technologies.
