Welcome to our group

We are interested in exploring quantum mechanical phenomena in nuclear and electron spins and using those for material characterization and quantum sensing. 

 

We design radio frequency (RF) and microwave (µw) pulse sequences using a combination of quantum mechanical calculations and numerical simulations to probe specific interactions involving spins. As the spin interactions are sensitive to the local environment, structure, and dynamics, we use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) to characterize materials. Our target materials include battery electrodes and electrolytes, solid catalysts, solar energy harvesting materials, supplementary cement materials, cementless binders, and soil. 

 

In quantum sensing projects, we are interested in optically active paramagnetic systems such as defects in diamonds, SiC, hBN, etc. We use EPR and NMR to characterize the defect density and coherence times and combine them with DNP to perform quantum-enhanced NMR experiments. Organic chromophores-based singlet fission materials are being pursued to enable DNP at ambient conditions. 

 

We are open to collaboration and discussions on related topics with academics, industries as well as anyone who is curious. Apart from science, we enjoy regular group outings, cooking together and of course eating it.
