Hi, I'm Apoorva Joshi.
 

I'm a fourth-year graduate student in Materials Science at Dartmouth College. I'm passionate about materials engineering, especially understanding the fundamental mechanisms behind complex alloys to tune their transport properties. I currently work on transport properties in materials, and am especially interested in the interplay between phonons and magnons. Currently, the characterisation tools I work with are neutron diffraction and scattering, electron microscopy, and physical property measurements. Of late, I have been working a lot on the short-range order in alloys, especially using pair-distribution function and Reverse Monte Carlo techniques.

​

My career aspirations are two-fold: scientific research and scientific policy. My research interests lie at the intersection of energy materials, space research, and semiconductors.

​

Most importantly, I like solving and thinking about materials science problems. Playing a game of atomic Legos is my favourite pastime. :)

 

Alternatively, I'm also a Bharatanatyam dancer and a food geek, and if you don't find me in the lab you will find me devoting hours to these two pursuits I co-founded an Indian Classical club at Dartmouth College, SADHANA.
