My research in theoretical condensed matter physics focuses on the development and application of advanced first-principles density functional theory methods to characterize, discover, and design novel quantum materials (bulk as well as 2D) with interesting properties. I am particularly interested in polar metals, novel ferroelectrics, topological quantum materials, nonlinear Hall phenomena, 2D materials including superlattices and heterostructures, novel magnetism, superconductors, and materials having strong spin-orbit coupling and Berry-curvature effects. Being previously trained in experimental condensed matter physics, I have an abiding interest in collaborating with experimentalists to study the structure-property relationships and comprehend intriguing experimental observations in materials.
