The K. Alam Lab is a multidisciplinary physics research group led by Prof. Dr. Md. Khorshed Alam. Our work spans several branches of modern physics and materials science, with a focus on understanding how matter behaves at different length scales — from atoms to complex structures.
We explore problems that sit at the intersection of condensed matter physics, nanomaterials, composites, semiconductor materials, biophysics, and emerging functional materials. Our team is a mix of faculty members, early-career researchers, and motivated students who work together to ask new questions and develop solutions that can make a real impact.
Our goal is simple: to advance scientific understanding while creating an environment where young researchers can grow, think independently, and contribute to the global scientific community.
We work on topics that combine fundamental physics with practical applications. This includes electronic structure, quantum behavior in low-dimensional systems, materials for energy storage, biomolecular interactions, and more.
The K. Alam Lab engages in:
Computational and experimental materials research
Using tools like Density Functional Theory (DFT), spectroscopy, microscopy, and device fabrication.
Nanomaterials and composite development
For energy, environmental, and structural applications.
Biophysics and soft matter studies
To understand physical processes inside biological and complex systems.
Condensed matter theory and simulations
Exploring electronic, optical, and magnetic phenomena in advanced materials.
We collaborate with universities, research groups, and industry partners who share our interest in pushing scientific boundaries.
We believe good research comes from curiosity, teamwork, and persistence. The lab encourages open discussion, shared learning, and hands-on involvement in real projects. Students at all levels are welcomed into the research culture and trained in both theoretical and experimental techniques.
Another key area of study is AI-powered chatbots and automation. While Google Sites lacks built-in chatbot functionality, we explore ways to integrate AI-driven customer support, virtual assistants, and automated content curation using external tools and APIs. These innovations allow businesses and institutions to provide instant, intelligent support to their website visitors without requiring advanced coding knowledge.
As we grow, we aim to expand our work into new areas of physics and materials research, strengthen national and international collaborations, and contribute to scientific knowledge through publications, conferences, and open-source contributions.
