Freelance Computational Materials Scientist | DFT Simulations | Advanced Materials Research

Profile Summary

I am a Computational Materials Scientist with extensive expertise in Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations and advanced material design. My primary focus is on designing and optimizing materials for energy storage, hydrogen storage, CO₂ capture, and semiconductor applications. I specialize in using VESTA for crystal structure design, BURAI and Quantum Espresso for performing precise DFT calculations to predict material properties. I offer comprehensive computational analysis tailored to researchers and industries aiming to develop cutting-edge materials. My services include crystal design, structural and electronic property analysis, materials optimization, and theoretical insights for energy-related technologies. Services I Offer: • Material Modeling: Design and optimization of novel materials using VESTA. • DFT Calculations: Accurate simulations using Quantum Espresso, including: • Band structure, density of states (DOS) partial Density of States (PDOS), adsorption calculation, JDOS, Atomic Relaxation, XRD, and phonon calculations. • Charge density analysis and electronic property predictions. • Energy Storage Materials: Modeling and analysis for graphene-based sodium-ion batteries and related materials. • Hydrogen Storage and CO₂ Capture: DFT analysis of materials for clean energy and environmental applications. • Semiconductor Materials: Bandgap tuning and optimization for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Key Achievements: • Designed and analyzed cost-effective graphene-based materials for sodium-ion batteries under a World Bank-funded project. • Conducted advanced Hyperloop simulation research for goods transportation under another World Bank-funded project. • Authored 3peer-reviewed journal articles, in the fields of materials science and nanotechnology. • Six abstracts based on DFT simulations accepted for ASME ES2025, covering topics such as energy storage, CO₂ capture, and advanced materials. Why Work With Me? I combine deep theoretical knowledge with extensive computational expertise to deliver actionable insights for material discovery and optimization. Whether you need novel material design, detailed DFT analysis, or insights into materials for energy and electronics, I can provide high-quality results with a quick turnaround. Let’s work together to bring your project to life. Feel free to reach out to discuss your requirements! Let me know if you’d like me to refine it further or tailor it to specific project.
