A Little About My Journey
I am a computational materials scientist dedicated to advancing sustainable energy technologies through the discovery and design of novel functional materials. My research integrates quantum mechanical calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, and data-driven approaches to understand structure-property relationships at the atomic scale.
At WPI-AIMR, Tohoku University, I lead research projects focused on developing next-generation materials for energy storage, conversion, and efficiency applications. My work contributes to the fundamental understanding of material behavior while addressing critical challenges in renewable energy technologies.
