Materials Insight Research Group: Meso-scale Modeling of Materials
Discover Our Story
I have obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Texas A&M University under the supervision of Professor Raymundo Arroyave in 2019. Following my doctoral studies, I joined as a postdoctoral fellow at the group of Prof. Raymundo Arroyave. Later I continued my postdoctoral research at the reMIND (Reconfigurable Electronic Materials Inspired by Nonlinear Neuron Dynamics) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC), sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, housed at Texas A&M University where I collaborated under the guidance of Professors Raymundo Arroyave and Sarbajit Banerjee. Currently, I am a Research Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University, concurrently serving as the Director of Operations at the BIRDSHOT Center, dedicated to High-Throughput Materials Discovery for Extreme Conditions (HTMDEC).
