Welcome to the Jasrasaria Group at the University of Chicago!
We use theory and simulation to understand how microscopic interactions between atoms and electrons dictate the macroscopic behaviors of materials. Our goal is not only to understand materials properties but also to develop design principles to optimize materials performance for applications ranging from quantum information to energy conversion.
The Jasrasaria Group is recruiting graduate students and postdocs.
