Meliza Maria Souza pursuing Ph.D.

Research Interest

My research interests lie in Condensed Matter Theory and Computational Physics. Previously, I investigated the Spin-1 Bose Hubbard model with density-induced tunnelling using the two-dimensional Cluster Mean Field Theory, examining its finite-temperature phase diagram. This work provided valuable insights into quantum phase transitions, spinor condensates, and the influence of thermal fluctuations in interacting lattice systems. Currently, I am exploring problems in Material Science, particularly related to structural complexity, disorder, and thermodynamic behaviour in functional materials. I am keen to further develop and apply theoretical models and computational techniques to study complex materials and quantum systems, and I aim to contribute to inter-disciplinary research that bridges fundamental physics with real-world applications.
