Monika is Assistant Professor specialized in the field of Density Functional Theory (DFT). She obtained her PhD degree at ABV-Indian Institute of Information Technology & Management, Gwalior, defending thesis entitled “Computational Investigations of Nanostructured Materials as Sensors for the Carcinogenic Elements in Water and Air” in 2023. During her PhD project she was exploring one dimensional and two dimensional nanostructures for applications such as sensing devices for air and water pollutants by employing DFT theory coupled with NEGF formalism. Currently she is working on computational modeling of metal-air batteries.
