• BANYA (বন্যা) in Bengali means "Flood". Though Flood, the natural calamity, has the stigma of destruction attached to it, in here, the word is used in a positive context - the group wants to associate itself with a flood of quality work in the area of computational materials science.

Research in বন্যা Group

The group works on calculations and analysis of complex materials to understand the interplay of various factors at the microscopic level of compounds and alloys that are responsible for the novel properties in them. Extensive use of Density Functional Theory in conjunction with atomistic models to extract the underlying science in materials is done. 

News & Achievement

Current Thrust in the group

After working for years on developing methodologies for computations of vibrational properties in systems with chemical and magnetic disorder, on exploring various aspects of multiferroic oxides, half metallic, shape memory and magneto-caloric Heusler alloys, the group is currently focusing on applications of 2D materials in variety of areas. The current applications include areas like magnetism, food technology, thermoelectric effect, electrochemical effect, and catalysis.
