Urmimala Dey

Dr. Urmimala Dey is a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in the Department of Physics at Durham University, specializing in condensed matter physics and materials science with emphasis on magnetoelectric materials, high-pressure phenomena, and computational materials design.

Her research explores structural and electronic properties of materials under extreme conditions, including pressure-induced orbital reordering, magnetoelectric coupling mechanisms in complex oxides, and spin-splitting manipulation in semiconductors. She employs advanced computational techniques and high-pressure diffraction methods to investigate novel physical behaviors in transition metal compounds, perovskites, and layered materials.

Dr. Dey's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to top-tier physics journals, with recent work focusing on pressure-driven phase transitions, room-temperature magnetization control in layered oxides, and Rashba effect engineering. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges experimental and theoretical physics to advance multifunctional material development for next-generation spintronic and electronic devices.
