Available to hire
Hello! I’m Dr. Poulami Chakraborty, a materials scientist and computational physicist who specializes in first-principles modeling of 2D materials and graphene-based heterostructures. My research focuses on strain engineering, doping effects, and interface properties for spintronic and flexible devices, with a data-driven mindset and a passion for connecting theory to real-world applications.
I thrive on developing high-performance computing workflows and collaborating across disciplines to advance hydrogen energy systems and advanced functional materials. I enjoy mentoring researchers, leading collaborative projects, and turning complex theory into tangible, impactful results.
