I am Achyuta Krishnan, originally from Tuticorin, India, with a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research is rooted in Process Systems Engineering, focusing on multiscale simulation and optimization of neodymium extraction and separation processes. I am passionate about developing advanced computational frameworks that seamlessly integrate molecular-level insights with process-scale decision-making, enabling predictive and robust solutions for complex chemical systems.
Beyond research, I enjoy reading crime and mystery novels and following political and geopolitical developments—interests that continue to sharpen my analytical thinking and broaden my perspective on interdisciplinary problem-solving.
My name is Doris Dang, and I’m from Vietnam. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from VNU-HCM University of Technology (HCMUT). My current research focuses on the modeling and optimization of lithium-ion batteries, specifically investigating powder properties, including powder flow and systems engineering.
In my free time, I love hanging out on YouTube or getting lost in a good book. My all-time favorite genres are detective stories, mysteries, and true crime cases! I’m also a huge music lover. A little fun fact about me: the "crazier" and more upbeat the music is, the more I can actually focus on my work!
