I am a dedicated and experienced computational physicist with a deep background in condensed matter physics and materials science. My professional journey has taken me from a rigorous academic path, culminating in a Ph.D. in Physics from The Ohio State University, to impactful postdoctoral research roles in both Europe and the United States. Currently, I serve as a Research Scientist for AV (https://www.avinc.com/), supporting the United States Air Force Research Laboratory.

My current research focuses on investigating solid-state and soft matter systems, with an emphasis on linear and nonlinear optical materials, ferroelectrics, 2D materials, and polymer systems. I specialize in bridging the gap between first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to achieve a comprehensive understanding of material behavior.

To advance this work, I am the primary developer of "DFTCONTROL," a specialized Python package designed to streamline the entire computational workflow—from generating and executing simulations to handling errors and analyzing data. This tool has been instrumental in producing robust and reproducible results in our research.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to the scientific community through numerous publications and have been recognized with awards such as a fellowship at the Center of Emergent Materials. I am passionate about leveraging high-performance computing to solve complex problems and advance the field of materials science.
