RESEARCH INTERESTS

- Atomistic kinetics of materials for energy and sustainability during synthesis, operation, and degradation.

- Methodology development for long time scale dynamics, including saddle point search algorithms for off-lattice models and density function theory (DFT) informed kinetic Monte Carlo methods for lattice models. And the use of machine learning in accelerating of the above from existing data.
