+Shobhana Narasimhan's group primarily focuses on exploring the novel physics and chemistry of materials at nanoscale. The group uses this nanoscale understanding to design materials with novel functionalities by using [[Density functional theory|quantum mechanical density functional theory]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shobhana Narasimhan - Research|url=http://old.jncasr.ac.in/shobhana/index.php?menu_id=3&user_id=31&page_id=466|access-date=2021-08-22|website=old.jncasr.ac.in}}</ref> The group uses theoretical first principles without any empirical input (apart from atomic numbers and masses) to derive information about the material structure and its functional properties. While the nature of research of highly fundamental, the results have been applied to developing nanocatalysts for clean energy and designing magnetic materials for data storage .
