About
I use first-principles simulations, many-body theory, and data-driven models to design superconductors and quantum materials. My work connects fundamental electron-phonon physics with practical routes for controlling transport and light-matter interactions.
Research Focus
- Superconductivity — Phonon-mediated pairing, vertex corrections, and materials design for ambient pressure superconductivity.
- Topological transport — Berry curvature driven responses, transport propertis of Weyl/Dirac semimetals, and emergent superconducting states in topological platforms.
- Light-Matter interaction — Ultrafast excitation, inverse Faraday effect, and non-thermal phase transition in materials.
- Automated workflows — Machine learning models for Tc prediction, ML-ready datasets for electron-phonon coupling.
- Magnetism - Acheiving through intercalation of diatomic molecules between 2D materials.
- Energy storage devices - Explored Si2BN, Graphdiyne, and Graphyne for solid-state batteries.
- Catalysis - Semiconducting oxides and their heterointerfaces for catalytic applications.
