Profile

I joined the group in 2019 as a post-doctoral researcher. My research deals with study non-linear optical properties of old and new multinary chalcogenides. During my PhD, I synthesized multinary chalcogenides, studied their structural diversity and their optical properties. Additionally, I explored color in intermetallics for application in jewelery. During my post-doc at University of California, Riverside I studied theoretically magnetic frustration in borides and possible exfoliation in MAB phases.
