Area of Interest
My primary research interests in nanoscience involve investigating how one can control the materials properties of systems by shrinking the characteristic physical length scales of the constituents. When nanoparticles are smaller than the magnetic domain size, the materials properties of the system are changed significantly. I am also interested in exploring the effect of small length scales in other ordered systems, including ferroelectrics and multiferroic systems.
