Hello Visitor!
I am Dr. Debalaya and I welcome you to my homepage! Thanks for stopping by!
Presently I am working as a scientist at UGC-DAE-CSR Indore, India, leading an active research group DSFM, devoted to find better functional materials with machine learning.
​
I have experiences in both experimental and computational material science, with expertise in x-ray absorption, x-ray photo-electron spectroscopies, TEM and density functional theory based ab-initio calculations. Currently I am studying complex configurational spaces and phase transitions of zeolites, perovskites, alloy-surfaces with cluster expansion and Monte Carlo sampling methods. Using machine learning techniques, we predict the catalytic/thermo-electric performances.
