Bio
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in 2020, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Elbio Dagotto. Predominantly I studied the electronic and magnetic properties of strongly correlated electrons in multi-orbital Hubbard models using exact numerical techniques like Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) theory and Lanczos Algorithm. These kind of exact studies are significant for materials where orbital degree of freedom plays an important role like in transition metal oxides (for example pnictides, iridates, rhutenates etc.). Specifically, I have worked in the field of 4d and 5d materials where Spin orbit coupling is large and hence should be taken into account in theoretical investigations.
At present I am interested in the emerging field of moire materials, which can be used to simulate extended Hubbard models on various kind of 2-dimensional lattices and at various fillings leading to exotic Wigner crystals, Mott insulating states and quantum spin liquids.
