Chakram S. Jayanthi

Chakram S. Jayanthi is Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at the University of Louisville, specializing in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. Research develops methodologies for large-scale simulations of complex materials using semi-empirical Hamiltonians.

Key research areas include nanoscale science, electronic structure theory, molecular dynamics, and quantum transport. Recent publications focus on boron allotropes, silicon carbide nanostructures, carbon hybrids, and novel computational methods. Article analyses reveal strong emphasis on low-dimensional systems (2D boron sheets, nanowires) and environment-dependent Hamiltonians for predicting material properties.

Education includes a Ph.D. in Physics from IIT Delhi (1980), M.S. from University of Delhi (1975), and B.S. (Hons) from University of Delhi (1973). Professional work advances understanding of structure-property relationships in nanomaterials for next-generation electronic devices.
