Research Profile

I am  a researcher in the field of computational Materials Science for the past 9 years. My research work involves the use of electronic band structure calculation methods within the framework of Density Functional Theory(DFT). This includes the determination of electronic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical properties of binary and ternary compounds. Specialized in the prediction and simulation of half metallic ferromagnetism in materials used in the field of spintronics.
