Profile Summary

I am a materials scientist and engineer with a strong academic background, specializing in energy-related materials for rechargeable batteries and photovoltaic devices. Since 2019, I have also served as a university lecturer, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical thermodynamics, and applied mathematics for science and engineering. My expertise lies in first-principles, atomistic-scale simulations, supported by advanced Python programming for workflow automation and data analysis. I have extensive experience with density functional theory (DFT) codes such as VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO and Gaussian, which I use to investigate electronic, thermal, optical and mechanical properties of materials. Beyond static calculations, I also employ ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to explore finite-temperature behavior, ionic diffusion, and interfacial processes in complex systems. In support of these simulations, I make extensive use of the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) and Pymatgen, which I leverage for structure generation, workflow automation, data handling, and high-throughput analysis. I am also fully prepared to tackle a broad range of condensed matter problems within the scope of first-principles atomistic simulation and modeling. My ongoing research projects focus on layered oxides- and Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃-based cathodes for next-generation batteries, NaSICON-type solid electrolytes, and quaternary Cu₂ZnSn(S/Se)₄-based photovoltaic absorbers. Within these systems, I have studied diffusion barriers, defect energetics, redox mechanisms and surface reactivity. While my primary experience centers on batteries and photovoltaics, I am actively expanding my perspective and remain open to applying my computational skills to other emerging technologies where first-principles insights can make a tangible impact. I bring both scientific rigor and practical insight, combining deep computational expertise with a broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities in advancing battery, photovoltaic, and beyond.
