From the Period of 2015 to 2019
A synergy of great young scientist I have the pleasure to work with, collaborate and good friends. I mostly played the role of “sub-supervisor” and problem solver.
Dr Miglė Graužinytė (sort of former PhD student)
Originally from Lithuania, she completed her undergraduate and Master studies in Physics at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focuses on computational modelling of defects in oxides. She collaborates actively with experimental groups and is especially interested in programming and teaching. In her spare time, she enjoys equally indoor/outdoor sports and pubs. She defended her thesis on 13 Dec 2018 and her work was awarded “Summa Cum Laude”. You can read her thesis,Grauzinyte_Thesis_compressed.pdf
Dr Deb Sankar De (Former PhD student, Prof. Goedecker)
is from India (Krishnagar W.B.) and completed undergrad Krishnagar and master at Jawaharlal Nehru University (J.N.U) New Delhi. After doing an internship in Germany decided to pursue a PhD in Europe. Deb palette’s of modelling is abundant; it uses density-functional theory to simulate large systems (hundreds of atoms). His interests are in clusters, fullerenes, reconstruction of 2D layers, bulks oxides, etc. Outside of university, Deb enjoys walks, dark-philosophy (is a keen pessimist) and enjoys equally excellent and bad wine. He defended his thesis work on 12 Dec 2018 and his work was awarded “Magna Cum Laude”.
This year promises much more exciting news. I was kindly invited by one of the leaders -worldwide- in the field of superconducting hydrides. His team have measured the highest superconducting transition at 250 K! (the machine in the picture)
