Research Interests
I am investigating two projects; one is photovoltaic and the other is relaxor ferroelectric material. For photovoltaic, I am interesting in excited states to evaluate more accurate hole and electron mobilities within first principle techniques. For relaxors, we are calculating dielectric responses at several frequencies and temperatures. Our goal is to figure out the nature of broadening responses.
