Sakshi Vijay V. K.

I completed my Master of Science in Solid State Physics at M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bengaluru, India where her research focused on “Accelerated discovery of 3d/4d/5d transition metal-based chalcogenides using machine learning approaches.” my work combined DFT simulations and data-driven modeling to predict key material properties for thermoelectric and optoelectronic applications.

During my master’s program, i also gained in-depth knowledge of condensed matter physics, electronic structure theory, and computational modeling techniques.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physics, Computer Science, and Renewable Energy from Jain University School of Science Bengaluru, India where i developed a multidisciplinary foundation integrating physics, computational methods, and sustainable energy technologies.

Professionally, I worked as a research intern at defence research and development organisation india, also i worked as a Graduate Research Intern at Nirvana Foundation Solar PV Technology, focusing on solar photovoltaic systems and renewable energy materials.Her research interests include computational design of advanced energy materials, electronic and thermoelectric property prediction using high-throughput DFT and machine learning, and understanding charge transport and structural stability in 2D materials and heterostructures.

I also particularly interested in using computational and AI-driven approaches to accelerate the discovery of sustainable materials for next-generation technologies.I have actively participated in several national conferences and oral presentations, including talks on “Density Functional Theory (DFT) Modeling and Machine Learning” and “Quantum Cryptography and Applications” at M.S. Ramaiah University, and a poster presentation on “Importance of Nanoscience and Technology” at IIT Madras Event. MY academic journey reflects a strong commitment to integrating theoretical research with practical applications in materials science, renewable energy, and nanotechnology.
