Alireza Shabani

Alireza Shabani is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in computational atomic-scale materials design.

His research focuses on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, particularly vanadium disulfide (VS₂) nanosheets, using density functional theory (DFT) to model electronic properties and sensing mechanisms. Key areas include computational materials science, nanomaterials engineering, and biosensor development for neurological applications.

His sole publication (2024) demonstrates VS₂ nanosheets' high sensitivity toward specific neurotransmitters via DFT simulations, highlighting potential in medical diagnostics and brain-computer interfaces. This work establishes foundational insights for next-generation biosensors in neuroscience.
