Aravind Devarakonda
Assistant Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics
Devarakonda uses tools and techniques from solid-state chemistry, nanoscience, and low-temperature physics to study the quantum mechanical behavior of matter.
He is particularly interested in materials hosting unusual, emergent electronic behavior. Ultimately, Devarakonda aims to detect, manipulate, and harness these new phenomena states towards future applications in quantum information science and beyond.
Devarakonda obtained his BS in Applied Sciences and Engineering from Rutgers University in 2014 and his PhD in Physics from MIT in 2021. Subsequently, he joined Columbia University as a Simons Junior Fellow and Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Physics. In January 2024 he joined the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University as an Assistant Professor.
