معرفی
Dr. Trinanjan Datta is a Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics and Biophysics at Augusta University's College of Science and Mathematics. His academic appointments include roles in the Department of Chemistry and Physics and Department of Physics and Biophysics. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics from Purdue University (2007), an MS from Indian Institute of Technology (2001), and a BS from University of Calcutta (1999).
His research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of magnetic systems, including spectroscopic properties of magnon, multi-magnon, and topological magnon excitations in quantum magnets. Key methods include RIXS, Raman, INS, and transport studies, with additional interest in classical Monte Carlo simulation of non-equilibrium magnetic systems. Notable awards include the 2017 College of Science and Mathematics Exemplary Teaching Award and 2016 University System of Georgia SoTL Fellow.
Recent publications analyze topics like periodicity staircase patterns in Fe/Gd thin films, Einstein-de Haas effect in topological magnon insulators, and dynamical phase transitions in the XY model. These reflect a trend toward understanding topological phases, non-equilibrium magnetism, and quantum spin dynamics through spectroscopic and computational approaches.
His scientific awards include:
- 2017 College of Science and Mathematics Exemplary Teaching Award
- 2016 College of Science and Mathematics Excellence in Research Award
- 2016 University System of Georgia SoTL Fellow
- 2015 GRU College of Science and Mathematics Outstanding Faculty Award
- 2012 KITP Scholar Award
Dr. Datta actively supervises undergraduate and graduate research students, including Alex Price, Curtislee Thornton, and Cheng Luo, while collaborating with institutions like Sun Yat-sen University. His work spans frustrated magnetism, correlated electron systems, and biophysics, with 32 peer-reviewed publications to date.
