Education

  • Jan 2021

    PhD in Theoretical Chemistry

    University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Daan Frenkel

    • Investigated diffusiophoretic (osmotic) transport using Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD), together with High Performance Computing (HPC) [Check the video to learn more]
    • Developed algorithms to automatise/analyse MC/MD simulations
    • Used non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to create a theoretical framework in phoretic transport
    • 4 peer-reviewed publications, 2 more in preparation
    • Presented my research in 4 international conferences/workshops
    • Developed an interatomic potential for the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) Package
