Dr. Kavipriya Thangavel, our new postdoctoral associate in the Hill Group, holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Physics from Bharathiar University, India. She began her research journey as a Junior Research Fellow at the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM, India), investigating the structural and magnetic transitions in electron-doped Manganite Oxide and exploring its magnetocaloric Properties. Kavi furthered her academic pursuits through a joint doctoral program facilitated by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship – PARACAT (https://paracat.eu/wp/). This endeavor led her to obtain double doctoral degrees from Leipzig University (Physics) and Cardiff University (Chemistry). In this PhD program, her work focus on the ‘Elucidation of the Role of Paramagnetic Valence States of High Spin Transition Metal Ions in Metal-Organic Frameworks by EPR Spectroscopy’.

She is now part of the Hill Group at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, set to delve into research using the W-band HiPER spectrometer. Welcome aboard!
