About Zarfishan Kanwal
I am a researcher in computational materials science and microfluidics. My materials science work uses first principles and density functional theory (DFT and DFT+U) to study the structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of doped semiconductors such as GaN, CdS, MoS₂, ZnO, and perovskite systems for optoelectronic and energy applications, with over 20 peer-reviewed publications. My current research focuses on droplet-based microfluidics, combining COMSOL simulation and experiments for lab-on-a-chip diagnostics and drug delivery, including machine-learning approaches for predicting and controlling droplet dynamics.
