Dr. Seymur Cahangirov has recently joined the UNAM faculty. In 2012, he received his Ph.D. from the Material Science and Nanotechnology program at UNAM while contributing to seminal works on dissipation phenomena and two-dimensional materials. Later he joined the Nano-Bio Spectroscopy Group in Spain as a postdoc. Dr. Cahangirov uses the state-of-the-art computational tools based on the Density Functional Theory to calculate the optical, electronic, mechanical, and vibrational properties of low-dimensional materials. He has explored wide-range phenomena including; thermal stability, tensile strength, quantum confinement, sudden and adiabatic processes, Friedel oscillations, non-collinear magnetization, modulation doping and etc. His research has been published at top physics journals including Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B and Applied Physics Letters
