PhD | R&D Consultant: AI-Driven Battery Materials, Electrolyte Discovery & Multiscale Modeling (DFT/MD)

Profile Summary

I am a Research Professor specializing in the discovery and optimization of next-generation energy storage systems. I bridge the gap between in-silico prediction and in-lab validation by integrating Molecular Dynamics (MD), Density Functional Theory (DFT), and Machine Learning with experimental electrochemistry. With 12+ peer-reviewed publications (including Journal of Materials Chemistry A), I support R&D teams in: • Electrolyte Engineering: Designing non-flammable, thermally stable systems for Li-metal and Li-ion batteries. • Computational Modeling: Automating pipelines (Python/GROMACS/ORCA) to predict interfacial stability and ion transport. • Technical Strategy: Identifying high-impact research gaps and drafting publication-ready manuscripts and grant proposals. Academic Leadership & Peer Review: Currently serving as an International Advisory Committee Member for ICAETM-2026. As an active Peer Reviewer for Q1 journals, including Biofuels, Energy Strategy Reviews, and Renewable Energy Focus, I provide clients with a "reviewer’s lens" to ensure manuscripts are technically sound and submission-ready.
