Pooja is an incoming physics Ph.D. student who will be joining the group in October 2022. She will investigate how coherently driven phonons can be used to modulate magnetic and ferroelectric properties of bulk and 2D layered materials. Pooja obtained her M.Tech. from IIT Delhi and her M.Sc. and B.Sc. from Chaudhary Devi Lal University.

​

Tom is a physics master student and joined the group in June 2022. He investigates how optically driven circularly polarized (chiral) phonons produce effective magnetic fields in crystalline solids, using a combination of phenomenological modeling and first-principles calculations. Tom obtained his B.Sc. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
