Ekta Kushwaha is a PhD student at RGIPT Jais, working on strongly correlated 4d–4f electron systems. Ekta’s research explores magnetic and multiferroic properties in complex oxides using neutron scattering, x-ray diffraction and dielectric spectroscopy, complemented by spin-dynamics simulations using SpinW and symmetry analysis with FullProf and SARAH. She has published in Physical Review B and the Journal of Materials Chemistry C, and has presented at several national and international conferences.
