معرفی
Talat S. Rahman is UCF Trustee Chair Professor and Pegasus Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Central Florida. Her research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of nanomaterial properties, surface phenomena, and quantum processes.
Rahman's research encompasses multi-scale modeling of chemical reactions at surfaces, growth mechanisms of thin films, vibrational and magnetic properties of nanomaterials, functional 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, and surface coordination chemistry. Her group develops computational techniques beyond density functional theory for strongly correlated materials and non-equilibrium phenomena.
Recent projects investigate charge transfer mechanisms at surfaces, oxidation state effects in surface coordination chemistry, and responses of nanostructures to ultrafast external fields. Her group maintains active collaborations with experimental teams to validate theoretical predictions and explore novel material functionalities.
As leader of an active research group, Rahman mentors doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in computational materials physics. Her laboratory focuses on developing advanced computational methods for predicting and explaining material behaviors at atomic and electronic scales.
