Hi, I’m Dipti!
I’m a postdoc in the Berkelbach group at Columbia University, developing methods to study the vibrational structure of strongly anharmonic materials. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, where I was a DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow and worked with the Rabani group to study exciton dynamics and exciton-phonon coupling in nanomaterials using theory and simulations. In addition to research, I am passionate about making academia and STEM research more equitable and accessible.
Previously, I was a Herchel Smith Fellow at the University of Cambridge, where I received an M.Phil. in Scientific Computing and performed research with the Wales group. I got my A.B. in Chemistry at Harvard University, where I worked on the Clean Energy Project with the Aspuru-Guzik group.
