Machine Learning ⇾
Our group is also working on developing data-driven machine-learning approaches for the electronic, structural, topological, and thermoelectric properties of materials.
Structural Materials ⇾
ThSim group applies ML and image processing to establish processing-structure-property linkages and optimize aerospace alloys, specifically Ni- and Ti-based superalloys.
Thermal Transport ⇾
Our group works on enhancing the thermoelectric efficiency of materials by DFT and ML approaches. We also work on heat management and optimizing it for desired applications.
Catalysis ⇾
Our group is developing state-of-the-art catalysts for renewable energy production, including CO oxidation, CO2 and N2 reduction, and 2D photocatalysts.
2D Materials ⇾
Our work focuses on utilizing engineering parameters like stress, strain, heterostructure, and defect incorporation to tailor the exotic properties of 2D materials.
Topological Properties ⇾
ThSim group studies topological quantum materials and their novel effects, including dissipation-less transport and valleytronics, utilizing their unique electronic properties.
Defects in Semiconductor ⇾
ThSim group tailors properties of quantum materials with chemical and electronic doping for improved thermodynamic, electronic, and optical properties.
