About the Lab

Computational Design of
Quantum & Functional Materials

The research group of Professor Alamgir Kabir focuses on the computational design and understanding of quantum and functional materials using first-principles methods based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). Our work explores the electronic, magnetic, optical, and structural properties of advanced materials for applications in energy, electronics, and next-generation technologies.

We are expanding our research toward AI-driven and high-throughput materials screening by integrating machine learning, data science, and automated computational workflows with traditional physics-based simulations. Our mission is to accelerate materials discovery while fostering innovation, collaboration, and rigorous scientific research in computational materials science.
