Research Interests

My research comes under the heading of thermoelectric and high-throughput screening of two-dimensional materials. I am interested in understanding and explaining some of the complex phenomena exhibited by low lattice thermal conductivity materials. I develop a python workflow to perform high-throughput GW, BSE, and thermoelectric calculations.
