I am looking for highly motivated students to join my research group at the BITS Pilani Goa Campus (Physics) under the Institute Fellowship or the DST-INSPIRE/CSIR Fellowship. Our group works on first-principles modeling of low-dimensional materials such as 2D van der Waals heterostructures, 1D carbon chains for their applications in thermoelectrics, photocatalysis and energy storage. Candidates with a strong background in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and computational methods will be preferred. Prior knowledge of Density Functional Theory (DFT) is desirable but not essential.
