I am Karn. My research interests lie in multiscale computation materials for energy storage materials, particularly solid-state lithium batteries. During my PhD, I worked on micro-macro scale modeling: combining the phase-field model and mechanics to understand how solid lithium mechanically and electrochemically interacts with the solid electrolyte or an SEI layer. As of now, I am currently a postdoc at Brown (Prof. Yue Qi's group) to expand my expertise in atomistic simulation techniques such as DFT and KMC, with an ultimate goal of developing a multi-scale framework to uncover mechanisms at the battery interface at different size scale. I feel the battery interface is like an endless puzzle – intriguing, mysterious, full of challenges, but fun to explore.
