Welcome to Ghimire Research Group!
Our group uses bulk materials synthesis techniques to develop physical platforms for investigating magnetic and electronic properties, and their interactions in inorganic crystalline solids. Current projects include kagome magnets, novel antiferromagnets such as altermagnets, chiral magnets, topological superconductors, and two and quasi-two-dimensional materials. Details of our research can be found here: Research. A list of publications can be found here: Publications.
We, together with Professor Igor Mazin (George Mason University) and Professor Collin Broholm (Johns Hopkins University), organized a workshop on Real and Momentum Space Topology at University of Notre Dame from July 24 -26,2025. Link to the Workshop page: Workshop.
This summer (2025), we were fortunate to host a fantastic group of interns, a REU fellow (Breanna Drauden from Arizona State University), a NURF fellow (Mary Kate Carroll from University of Notre Dame), and two QuarkNet fellows, one of whom is a high school science teacher (Jeff Kindelan from Adams High School), and a high school student (Max Busk from Trinity Greenlawn High School). We are proud to provide meaningful research opportunities to aspiring young scientists and educators, and we remain committed to fostering the next generation of scientific talent.
