Tiny Defects, Massive Quantum Effects

Faglige nøgleord: Material science, Defect engineering, LEDs, semiconductor technology

Oplæg tilgængeligt på: Engelsk

My PhD research is about studying point defects in 2-dimensional materials. This field of study has greatly impacted the world around us already - from structural materials like steel to materials for tech like LEDs, solar panels, phones, etc. These days, the field also promises to find candidates for quantum computing, next-gen batteries and energy storage. As a high-school student, I had a keen interest in theoretical physics and mathematics. I chose this field of material science because of its profound impact on the world around us. I find it satisfying to have a chance to study quantum-scale physics, while keeping a direct connection to the applications. Like most people know basics of how electricity works, how radio waves help us communicate over telephones, etc., many of our current technologies work on principles which are inherently quantum in nature. By connecting the results of quantum physics to the technology which surrounds our world, I would like to make the 'quantum' subject more approachable to the general audience.
