Welcome to Prof. Bhaskaran Muralidharan's Computational Nanoelectronics & Quantum Transport Group

We work in the area of computational quantum transport. Expertise in the microscopic simulation of non-equilibrium phenomena will play a crucial role not only in the research and design of emerging electronic and spintronic devices but also in diverse areas such as biological systems. Our simulations address a large class of problems encompassing electron, spin, and energy transport. Current efforts include:
