Student

I am interested in the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including their electronic, optical and vibrational properties. I apply quantum mechanical modeling, such as density functional theory (DFT), as well as GW methods to understand the complex nonequilibrium system, such as excitons. My current focus is on applying  DFT to investigate the effects of magnetic properties of materials on their electron-phonon coupling and electronic transport.
