Students

Ritam Chakraborty pursuing Ph.D.

Education:

Ritam did his schooling from Baranagar Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama High School, Kolkata, West Bengal. He obtained his B.Sc.(with Physics major) degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 2017. Subsequently, he got masters in Physics from the same university in 2019.

Ritam joined the Computational Nanoscience group supervised at JNCASR in September,2020.

 Research Interests: 

The interfaces of dye molecules and metal surfaces have unique properties that can be exploited in constructing novel devices. Ritam is using density functional theory to study such systems, motivated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments performed in the group of Anthoula Papageorgiou and Johannes Barth at the Technical University, Munich, Germany.

Ritam's extracurricular interests are music, football and food (especially pizza and pasta!) He is looking forward to his first scientific visit to Germany this summer, which will also give him an opportunity to visit Allianz Arena in Munich.

Tanuja Shridhar Joshi pursuing Ph.D.

Education: Tanuja received her primary education from Canara High School, Mangalore, Karnataka. She completed her BSc in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) from St. Aloysius College and went on to pursue her MSc in Physics from National Institute of Technology, Karnataka.

Tanuja joined the Computational Nanoscience group at JNCASR for pursuing PhD in August 2023.

Research interests:

Tanuja is interested in using machine learning (ML) techniques to expedite materials discovery and efficiently design novel materials. She is now starting to look for ways of leveraging ML techniques in the domain of Spin-Crossover systems.

Beyond her research pursuits, she has a deep appreciation for Indian classical music. She also likes to read, especially novels, in her free time.
