Poulumi Dey

Dr. Poulumi Dey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Delft University of Technology since 2018. She completed her Master of Science degree in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG) in 2005. She obtained her PhD degree in the field of theoretical Condensed Matter Physics from IITG in 2011. In 2012, she joined Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials as post-doctoral scientist. Dr. Dey’s research focusses on computation-guided design of materials for sustainable and renewable energy applications. The research activities of her group are focused on the identification and optimization of materials for efficient hydrogen storage, hydrogen production and hydrogen embrittlement resistance based on multi-scale simulation approach by combining techniques such as density functional theory, molecular dynamics, machine learning, etc.Dr. Dey’s group is also exploring the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of high entropy alloys based on multi-scale approach and machine learning.
