Computational Materials Science
About Me
Welcome to my personal website! I am a passionate Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Currently, I am working under the supervision of Prof. Somnath Bhawmick and Prof. Nilesh P Gurao. My research focuses on the intriguing world of computational materials science, battery materials, and the deformation behavior of HCP materials.
When I am not engrossed in research, I like to stay physically active and can often be found at the gym or on the badminton court. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is important to me, and I believe that physical fitness plays an important role in achieving this balance.
