Graduate Student Center for Quantum Materials Engineering
Abu joined the CSEM program in the fall of 2022. He grew up in Mumbai, India, where he did most of his education. He is a PhD student in the Center for Quantum Materials Engineering (CQME) group, specializing in computational materials science. His current work involves using quantum many-body simulation techniques, such as density functional theory, ab-initio Boltzmann transport, and many-body Green's function methods, coupled with high-performance computing techniques to uncover the electron-phonon physics in novel semiconductor devices. Outside academics, Abu enjoys fiddling around with astronomy, photography, sociology, anthropology, and learning new languages.
