  • Main area of work

  • Theory of the electronic and vibrational properties of disordered binary and ternary alloys. The Augmented Space technique was developed by me and used extensively by our group.
  • Study of inhomogeneous disorder, short-ranged order, local lattice distortions, sublattice disorder in alloys and compounds.
  • First Principles thermodynamics of binary alloys.
  • Electrical, thermal and optical response in binary alloys
  •  
      disordered systems.
    • Development of a Density Functional theory for excited states in disordered solids.
    • Study of transition and noble metal and bimetallic clusters. Catalysis, band-gap engineering
    • Study of electronic transmission through nanowires.
