D. L. V. K. Prasad

D. L. V. K. Prasad is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur). He specializes in Computational Materials science with research interests spanning electronic structure of materials, superconductivity in low-Z systems, and phase transitions in complex solids.

Education:

• PhD (2008), University of Hyderabad
• M.Sc. (2002), University of Hyderabad

Research Focus: His work combines quantum mechanical calculations and evolutionary algorithms to predict material structures and properties under extreme conditions. Key objectives include understanding solid-state phase transition mechanisms and designing high-temperature superconductors within BCS phonon-mediated frameworks.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2012-2016) predominantly explore high-pressure material behavior, nanostructured carbon/boron systems, and transition metal oxides, employing computational methods to investigate electronic confinement, chemical bonding, and magnetic properties in novel materials.

Professional Experience:

• NSF Postdoctoral Associate, Cornell University (2011–2013)
• Max Planck Society Postdoctoral Fellow, MPI-FKF Stuttgart (2009–2011)
