Ph.D. Candidate, ECE, UVA.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia, where I work in the E-Snail Lab under the supervision of Prof. Mona Zebarjadi. My research focuses on thermoelectric and thermomagnetic transport in emerging materials, including topological semimetals, van der Waals materials, and magnetic Heusler compounds. My work combines experimental transport measurements, materials characterization, and computational modeling to understand and engineer coupled charge, heat, spin, and magnetic phenomena.
Research: Thermoelectrics · Thermomagnetics · Nernst Effect · Seebeck Effect · Hall Effect · Topological Materials · 2D/van der Waals Materials · Heusler Alloys · Spin Caloritronics
