Behnaz Bagheri
RESEARCH PROFILE
Behnaz Bagheri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics. She develops advanced multiscale simulation frameworks to engineer light-matter interactions, plasma-matter interactions, and next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Her research bridges ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, force field-based molecular simulations, and continuum modeling (control-volume and finite-element) to establish predictive structure-property relationships that connect atomic-scale mechanisms to device-level performance. These models enable the design and optimization of functionalized materials, advanced devices, and plasma-based processes that power emerging high-tech industries.
A fundamental understanding is the basis of all applications.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Bagheri has a strong background in theoretical physics and multiscale computational modeling, with a deep commitment to understanding how complex physical systems behave across length and time scales. Her training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Italy) and a PhD carried out at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, with a visiting research appointment at McGill University (Canada). Her doctoral research was completed in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at 黑料福利网 following the relocation of her research group. Following her PhD, she further expanded her expertise in multiscale simulation methodologies during a postdoctoral fellowship at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI, Amsterdam). She now leads research to advance high-tech systems through predictive modeling that connects quantum-scale phenomena to device-level performance.
