Actividad:
Dhanalakshmi Radhalayam received her Ph.D. in Physics in 2018 from the
National Institute of Technology (NIT) Trichy, India. Following her doctorate, she
completed several postdoctoral research positions in India, Chile, and South
Korea, focusing on magnetic, multiferroic, ferroic, and piezoelectric nanomaterials
for environmental and energy applications.
She joined the Department of Physics at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile
(USACH) in March 2024, where she is currently an Assistant Professor in
Condensed Matter Physics. Her research centers on the design and synthesis of
multifunctional nanostructures for environmental remediation—including water
purification, heavy metal removal, and air pollution control—as well as sustainable
energy applications. A particular focus of her group is magnetic-field-assisted
catalytic processes that enhance material performance.
Dr. Radhalayam’s work integrates condensed matter physics, materials science,
and environmental nanotechnology to develop efficient, multifunctional materials
for pollutant removal, magnetic separation, photocatalysis, and energy conversion.
Through national and international collaborations, her group aims to advance
material-based strategies that support cleaner technologies, environmental
protection, and next-generation sustainable solutions.
