About Me

Hello! I am Shravan Godse, and I am a PhD Candidate advised by Prof. Jonathan Malen in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.

My PhD research focuses understanding and characterizing thermal transport in polymers with an aim of developing high thermal conductivity polymers for light weight heat exchangers and flexible electronics.

At IIT Bombay, I have been a convener of Krittika, The Astronomy Club. I was also actively involved in mentorship programs at IIT Bombay.

Apart from work, I love to read non-fiction books, watch TV-series (big fan of 'The Office'!) and stargaze (if the skies are clear :P).

If you ever want to talk about quantum physics, materials or The Office, hit me up!

Research

I am interested in using computational and experimental techniques as well as machine learning and AI to understand structure-property relationships in materials with a focus on properties specific to clean energy applications.

The Malen Laboratory

We use a laser based technique called Frequency Domain Thermoreflectance (FDTR) to find thermal conductivity of polymer thin films.

Apart from FDTR, we also employ other characterization techniques such as 4-point-probe, transient hot wire, transient thermal gratings, etc. Stay tuned for our results on high thermal conductivity polymers!

Materials Research Lab

I did most of the research here at IIT Bombay, under the guidance of Prof. Ankit Jain. I worked on finding lattice thermal conductivites using first principles ab-inito technqiues and machine learning driven novel materials discovery.

As a part of my bachelor's thesis, I worked on using renormalization and multichannel thermal transport to find thermal conductivities of 2 type-I clathrates. The work is now published in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.

Here are some paper presentations I gave as a part of weekly group meetings

• Screening billions of candidates for solid lithium-ion conductors: A transfer learning approach for small data
• Interplay between phonons and anisotropy drives negative thermal expansion in PbTiO3
• Anomalous suppressed thermal conductivity in CuInTe2 under pressure
• Machine learning accelerated geometry optimization in molecular simulation

TheoFEM Lab

I also did a research internship at the TheoFEM Lab at TU Munich, under the guidance of Prof. David Egger. Here, the focus was on vibrational spectra of hybrid perovskite FAPbBr3 which was peculiar due to the interesting motion of FA+ ions in the perovskite environment. This work is now published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters!.
