Bio: Before joining the University of Connecticut in 2022, I received my Ph.D. in materials science from the Harbin Institute of Technology and worked as a research fellow at the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology and a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Mississippi. I developed extensive expertise not only in density functional theory but also in ab initio molecular dynamics, focusing on materials including Heusler alloys, MAX phases and intermetallic compounds for numerous applications such as spintronic devices and energy storage.
Current Research:
- Design novel ferroelectric 2D materials utilizing density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD).
Favorite Computer Command: ls
Outside the Lab: I assist the Nepali Graduate Student Association as a co-advisor at UConn.
