About me
Amrendra is a materials scientist specializing in heat transport in crystalline solids and deep-Earth minerals. My work combines first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics, and transport modeling to quantify how composition, defects, and extreme pressure–temperature conditions govern lattice thermal conductivity.
Research
Interested in computational materials science, focusing on heat transport in solids.
Thermal transport properties of lowermost mantle minerals - Insights from atomic-scale simulations
This project investigates thermal transport in lower-mantle minerals using atomic-scale simulations. We focus on lattice thermal conductivity under core–mantle boundary conditions to clarify heat-flow pathways that influence the geodynamo and episodes of magnetic field reversal. The work refines computational methodologies and delivers quantitative constraints for larger-scale geophysical models, fostering tight collaboration across mineral physics and geodynamics. It is funded by the DFG Priority Programme 2404 “DeepDyn” and runs for three years, concluding in January 2027.
