I am thrilled to be joining the University of Chicago in July 2025 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and the James Franck Institute!

The Jasrasaria Group will use theory and simulation to understand how microscopic interactions between atoms and electrons in materials dictate their macroscopic behaviors. We will develop and apply tools to model optoelectronic, dynamical, and transport phenomena in materials systems. Our goal will be not only to understand materials properties but also to develop design principles to optimize materials performance for applications ranging from quantum information to energy conversion.

I am recruiting grad students and postdocs. If you are interested in working together, please contact me to learn more!

Currently, I’m a postdoc in the Berkelbach Group at Columbia University, developing methods to study the vibrational structure of strongly anharmonic materials. I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry in the Rabani Group at UC Berkeley, where my research on exciton dynamics in nanomaterials was supported by the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. Previously, I received an M.Phil. in Scientific Computing at the University of Cambridge and an A.B. in Chemistry at Harvard University.
