I am a postdoctoral researcher in T-1 (Physics and Chemistry of Materials) at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where I build charge-aware ML potentials, DFT electrochemistry workflows, and HPC automation infrastructure for electrified interfaces. Before LANL, I completed my PhD at IIT Madras (Best PhD Thesis Award) on multiphysics FEM and MD for liquid-crystal actuators, and my pre-doctoral research at KIT Karlsruhe on DEM-ANN-FEM hierarchical thermal transport for fusion breeder pebble beds. 26 peer-reviewed publications across electrochemistry, soft matter, and granular thermal transport.
