People
Ajit Kumar Jena
- Postdoctoral Fellow
- Physics (Computational Condensed Matter Physics)
Ajit earned his PhD in Physics, specialized in Computational Condensed Matter Physics, from IIT Madras. He holds master's degrees in Physics (M.Sc.) from Ravenshaw University, Cuttack, and Computational Techniques (M.Tech.) from the University of Hyderabad. After submitting his PhD thesis in July 2017, he worked as an Assistant Professor at Vignan's University, Guntur, from July to December 2017. He then moved to China as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Shenzhen University from July 2018 to August 2019. Since November 2019, he has been working at IKST. His research focuses on understanding the structure-property relationships of advanced functional materials through physics-based simulations and data-driven approaches. His expertise spans battery materials, spintronic materials, MXenes, thermoelectric materials, gas sensors, magnetic materials, and quantum materials. He strongly values collaborative research, open scientific communication, reproducibility, and interdisciplinary problem-solving.
