Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

Farzaneh Shayeganfar supervises the experimental and computational design of emerging materials research group is a part of the Department of Physics at Polytechnic. Her goal is to better design high quality functional materials by mapping the relationship between materials structures and their physical and chemical properties through a combined theoretical and experimental approach. Her group integrates all the aspects of materials research from developing the fundamental understanding to the design, synthesis and testing of new bulk and nanomaterials. They combine computational approaches in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics and statistical mechanics, with selected experiments into a

complimentary research strategy to investigate materials in the energy field.
