About me:
I am Arup Chakraborty. I currently work as the Royal Society Newton international fellow in the Materials department at the University of Oxford, UK. I received my PhD (2018) in Theoretical Physics from the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, India. I have over seven years of postdoctoral experience working at the Bar-Ilan University in Israel and the University of Oxford in the UK.
My research focuses on the computational modeling of energy storage materials and other applied materials. We provide atomistic insights into structure-property relationships using state-of-the-art computational tools to analyze structural properties, electronic structure, magnetism, ion transport, electrochemical behavior, and surface properties.
