Research interests
My research focuses on a class of materials called ferroics. Ferroics are so-called “functional materials” used for applications such as computer memory, sensors and medical imaging etc. Our group spends hours trying make these ferroics at very tiny dimensions and to see what happens when ferroics are scaled down to the size of a few nanometers. The challenge is not only in making them but also seeing these nanostructures and measuring their properties. At such length scales, the background noise often overrides the signal of interest. A significant part of our research thus involves understanding these very precise corrections to the signal.
