The work in my PhD dissertation focussed on chalcogenide-based thermoelectric and topologically nontrivial materials. I studied materials with non-trivial electronic topology using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT)...

Danny is interested in the electromechanical properties of two-dimensional materials. Specfically, he is interested in ferroelectricity, the switching of electric fields in a material, which are used in transistors and memory applications. He is also...

Ariel received a B.S. in 2019 with a double major in physics and pure mathematics, and an MPhil in physics from Trinity College, University of Cambridge, where she worked on quantum machine learning. Currently, Ariel is pursuing her doctorate in the...

Jonathan is a senior at Harvard College concentrating in Physics and Mathematics with a secondary in Computer Science. In the Kaxiras group, he develops models of moiré phonons, studying them from both a theoretical and computational (algorithms and...

Edward is a Harvard undergraduate in the Class of '24 concentrating in Physics with a joint in Computer Science. He enjoys exploring the intersection and interplay between physics and CS. Research projects include engineering unsupervised artificial...

Circe's research centers around the interface between machine learning, physics, and math, focusing on applying mathematical techniques to deep learning tasks. Previously, she worked with the Kaxiras group on physics-informed neural network methods for...
