Dr. K. Navamani obtained his Ph.D. in Physics (Oct. 2015) from Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, India under the supervision of Dr. K. Senthilkumar. His Ph.D. research specialization is Molecular Quantum Mechanics and Organic Semiconductor Physics. After his Ph.D., he subsequently worked as the Assistant Professor of Physics (contract) at Pondicherry Central University and National Institute of Technology Karnataka in the year of 2015-2016. Then, he joined as the Post-Doctoral Fellow (Oct. 2016-May 2020) in the group of Prof. Swapan K. Pati (S. S. Bhatnagar Awardee & JC Bose National Fellow) at Theoretical Sciences Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, INDIA. He is now working as Associate Professor of Physics at KPR Institute of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, INDIA.
His current research interests are multiscale modeling of charge and energy transport in both ordered and disordered systems (from molecules to materials) using density functional theory (DFT) methods, molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations, and revisiting the Einstein relation for quantum devices (eg., diodes, transistors, etc.).
Known for:
1) Entropy-Ruled Method [Key outcomes: Modified Einstein's D/μ Relation & Navamani-Shockley Diode Equation (we made quantum correction)]
2) Quantum-Classical Transition Analogy for Semiconductors
3) Density of States Proportion [Charge Disorder Variance Principle on Electron-Hole Symmetry-to-Asymmetry Transport Transition]
