Introduction:
My research is driven by a fundamental question: how can we mathematically model and predict the behavior of the physical world? The way reality can be formulated through calculus and differential equations—and then translated into code for a computer to solve—is what captured my imagination early in my academic career.
I am Farhan Noor, a Physics graduate from the University of Dhaka, and I specialize in Computational Materials Modeling, employing advanced numerical methods to simulate and understand complex material systems at the atomic and molecular scale I utilize Density Functional Theory (DFT). By modeling materials from first principles, I aim to uncover the detailed interactions that drive these phenomena and contribute to the discovery of new functional materials.
To execute this research, I have developed a robust technical workflow:
Scientific Computing: I am proficient in C++ and Python, which I use as my primary tools for data analysis, algorithmic implementation, and scientific visualization.
Computational Environment: I primarily operate within Linux environments to manage high-throughput DFT simulations and analyze large datasets.
Design & Visualization: I complement my modeling expertise with FreeCAD, allowing me to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications through 3D technical drawings and experimental design.
Currently, I use DFT to explore the mechanisms of superconductivity in new materials, which is important for both basic research and real-world applications. My work on superconductivity not only looks at the detailed interactions that cause this effect but also aims to contribute to the discovery of new materials.
In addition, I have complemented my materials modeling expertise with the ability to use basic functions of the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software FreeCAD for 3D modeling and creating technical drawings. This skill allows me to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications.
Background:
I am currently based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where I earned my Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Dhaka. My academic journey has been strongly shaped by an interest in computational approaches to understanding the fundamental properties of matter.
The University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh
Presently, I am a member of the Alamgir Kabir Lab at the University of Dhaka, where my research focuses on first-principles modeling of materials using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Through these methods, I investigate the structural, electronic, and superconducting properties of emerging compounds, with the aim of connecting atomic-scale interactions to macroscopic physical behavior. My work has resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications, reflecting both the technical rigor and the collaborative nature of my research.
Working in Linux-based environments, I regularly employ C++ and Python for running simulations, automating workflows, and analyzing large datasets. Overall, my academic training and research experience have equipped me with a solid foundation in physics, a specialized focus on computational materials modeling, and a growing set of interdisciplinary tools. I am motivated to continue applying and expanding these skills to advance the understanding of condensed matter systems.
