Namita Narendra's Biography
Namita Narendra is currently a postdoc at Purdue University. She is broadly interested in quantum mechanical modeling applied to multidisciplinary problems bridging an understanding toward the experimental findings. Her current research work includes understanding chemical reaction acceleration in microdroplets and multiscale modeling of III-V HEMT including defect characterization.
Prior to joining Purdue in 2018, Namita completed her PhD from North Carolina State University in 2017 followed by a 6 month postdoc stint at NCSU. Her PhD thesis focused on multiscale modeling of electronic and thermal transport in thermoelectrics, turbostratic 2D materials and HEMT. During her PhD, Namita developed and implemented codes for electron and phonon Monte Carlo, tight binding and NEGF. She also has expertise in Density Functional Theory (DFT) and DFTB.
