Sabyasachi Sen

Sabyasachi Sen is the Blacutt-Underwood Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on structural and dynamical characterization of amorphous and crystalline materials, including glasses, ceramics, and glass-forming liquids. His work integrates spectroscopic, electrical, and rheological techniques to explore material behavior in photonics, energy storage, and remote sensing applications.

Key research interests include amorphous materials, ceramics, rheology, and NMR spectroscopy-based techniques. His studies address structural relaxation, ionic conductivity, and material fragility across oxide, chalcogenide, and molecular glass systems. Sen has contributed to understanding mixed-alkali effects, physical aging, and nanoconfined liquid dynamics.

• Developed predictive models for material processing and technological applications.
• Investigated supercooled liquids' thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
• Explored novel adsorbents for environmental remediation using graphitic carbon nitride.

Sen has been recognized with the 2020 Otto Schott Research Award and holds the Blacutt-Underwood Distinguished Professorship. His lab focuses on advancing functional materials science through interdisciplinary approaches.
