Dr. Rashid seeks to understand the underlying structure of a material, its electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and its performance in applications. In his study, he employs Density Functional Theory. He is the founder of the Quantum Materials Simulation Lab (QMSL), the first personal research laboratory in the Department of Physics of the university. Currently, one PhD student and ten research assistants are working at QMSL. To learn more about QMSL’s facilities and the activities of its members, click here.
