Research Interest
I am interested in developing theoretical models to describe spin dependent phenomena in organic and inorganic semiconductors, in order to understand their electronic, magnetic and transport properties. I have developed tight-binding models to describe electronic and magnetic properties of magnetic doped inorganics semiconductors. I am currently working in theoretical modeling of spin transport in organics to study spin Hall effect, Chiral induced spin selectivity and spin diffusion length in organic semiconductors.
