About

Dr. Debalaya Sarker has received her bachelors and masters degrees in physics from the Jadavpur university, Kolkata, India. She has pursued her Ph.D. in physics from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India. She has worked as a Max Planck Postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Dr. Matthias Scheffler at the Fritz Haber institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany for 2 years. She was a Research scientist at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow, Russia in the group of Prof. Levchenko before joiningthe UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research Indore, India as a faculty scientist. Dr. Sarker has experiences in both experimental and computational material science, with expertise in High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), crystallography, x-ray absorption, x-ray photo-electron spectroscopies, and density functional theory based ab-initio calculations. Her research activities involve studying complex configurational spaces and phase transitions of zeolites, perovskites, alloy-surfaces with cluster expansion/ Monte Carlo methods coupled with experimental techniques. With the aid of machine learning methods, they predict the catalytic/thermoelectric performances in functional materials.
