Biography

Dr. Sangtarash is an Assistant Professor in Nanoelectronics and Leverhulme Fellow in the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick. She obtained her PhD from Lancaster University as a Marie-Curie Early Stage Researcher, developing the theory of nanoscale transport, within the EU Innovative Training Network MOLESCO“Molecular-scale Electronics: Concepts, Contacts and Stability” . She was awarded the Lancaster JUNO Prize for research excellence in 2016. After finishing her PhD, she became a Senior Research Associate at Physics department, Lancaster University and in 2018 she awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship working on material engineering for high-performance molecular-scale thermoelectricity. Dr Sangtarash joined the University of Warwick in 2020.

Research Overview

Magic ratios and mid gap theory for molecular electronics

Magic ratio theory provides a simple but accurate design tool to predict electrical codncutance and thermoelectricity in graphene like molecules.

Graphene nanoribbon electronics

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are quasi one-dimensional single-atom-thin carbon-based nanostructures. Their electronic properties can be controlled by engineering their shape and edge structure which makes them attractive for nanoelectronic applications.

Selected related publications

Quantum interference for molecular electronics
