Research Interests: Professor Shivaram is a condensed matter experimentalist whose research spans a wide variety of key areas. His earlier work focused on the properties of Quantum Fluids at very low temperatures and high magnetic fields. His recent work has focused on the thermodynamic, electromagnetic and acoustic properties of a class of compounds based on rare earth and actinide elements, called the heavy electron metals. Strong electronic correlations in these metals give rise to many exotic phenomena in these systems such as unconventional superconductivity and magnetism. More recently, Professor Shivaram has developed MEMS based methods for magnetometry of condensed matter and to monitor nanostructures in real time during growth. His current work is centered on studies of hydrogen absorption at the molecular level in novel organo-metallic complexes which are made in his laboratory. He has also studied the acoustic properties of layered and intercalated layered materials in the past.
