Leadership
Guided by experienced researchers and visionaries in theoretical materials science.
The future of materials is written in the language of quantum mechanics. At CRITMS, we explore that language through the lens of condensed matter physics, where curiosity meets rigor and understanding inspires discovery. We believe that understanding emergent quantum phenomena in materials lays the theoretical foundation for tomorrow's technologies.
CRITMS is a Chattogram-based independent research institute dedicated to advancing materials science through first-principles investigations of low-dimensional materials and quantum-confined systems. As Bangladesh's first independent research institute dedicated to quantum and nanomaterials research, CRITMS represents a new initiative to strengthen Bangladesh's contribution to cutting-edge research in this field. In addition to its research activities, CRITMS seeks to build a vibrant scientific community by providing academic mentorship and research support for doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students. Through computational research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scientific communication, we support the development of independent researchers equipped to contribute to the global scientific community through high-quality theses, publications, conferences, and collaborative research. Our goal is to lay the foundation for future electronics, energy, and quantum technologies through the discovery and design of new materials.
