Rajib Sarkar, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. He was awardedPhD in Physics in 2009, from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India. After finishing his Ph.D., he joined as a Max-Planck Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Germany. He worked there from 2009 to 2012. Followed by this he was a post-doctoral fellow at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany from 2012 to 2014. He is also a Visiting scientist at the University of California, Davis, United States. During his research career, he has been a principal co-ordinator of several scientific projects (third party funding) including mentoring several international diploma and PhD students and published his work in many significant archived journals.
Research Area & Expertise
He is an expert in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics with the main focus on strongly correlated electron systems. He mainly uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Muon Spin Rotation techniques to understand the fundamental aspects of unconventional magnetism and unconventional superconductivity. Apart from doing active research, he also teaches at the bachelors, masters and PhD level at the University. He is also active in popularising science.
