Nominator's project description

Professor Narang is well-known internationally for her research at the intersection of computational science, phenomena away from equilibrium, and optical control of dynamics in materials and molecules. She has made seminal contributions to materials physics, optically excited collective phenomena, and understanding transport in quantum matter. During her stay in Germany, she will work on developing tools to predict excited-state phenomena and material dynamics from first principles methods and the emergence of topological properties.
