Sanjukta Paul

Post Doctoral Research Associate

Hello! I am Sanjukta. After completing my Ph.D in 2019 from SINP, Kolkata and a Post-doctoral term at NISER, Bhubaneswar, I have joined the group at SNBNCBS as a Research Associate in 2021.

I have worked in the area of strongly correlated systems, mainly theoretical modelling and study of Manganites, Manganite Heterostructures and Multi-orbital Hubbard models. Currently I am working on band-structure calculations for Quantum dots and hope to study Twisted Transition Metal Dichalcogenide systems in the future. Apart from Condensed matter physics, I am also interested in modelling problems related to Econophysics and Sociophysics. I love to travel, read books, taste regional cuisine and enjoy cinema. Occasionally I also like to write and do snapshot photography.

Sumanti Patra

Senior Research Fellow

Hi! This is Sumanti. I have done my B.Sc from Ramsaday College (Calcutta University) and did my M.Sc from Rajabazar Science College (Calcutta University). I have been awarded the INSPIRE-DST fellowship during my B.Sc and M.Sc and I have qualified in CSIR-UGC NET(rank-128), GATE(rank-15), and JEST(rank-133) in 2016. My research involves the electronic and optical properties of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). Most recently, I have started working on the twisted bilayers of these materials. Apart from this, I love coding a lot and like to take photographs and read fiction.

Proposed title of thesis: Electronic, structural and optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures
