The interest of our group is in a microscopic understanding of the properties of materials using a combination of tools. The systems we look at range from something as simple as an oxygen molecule to systems more complicated consisting of transition metal atoms in very complex geometries.
       Our interests range from understanding and predicting magnetism, complex ordering phenomena of correlated electrons manifesting as charge and orbital ordering, size dependent elastic properties in semiconductors, structure evolution at the nanoscale etc.
       More details on our recent work may be found here.
