About Me :

Dr. Pranav Kumar

Current Affiliation

PostDoc Researcher, Institut für Materialwissenschaft der Universität Stuttgart

I am currently working with Prof. Blazej Grabowski and Dr. Yuji Ikeda at the University of Stuttgart. Our current focus is on understanding the stability of hydrogen storage in Laves phase alloys.

I received my PhD from IIT Madras, India where I had the privilege of working with  Prof. Ilaksh Adlakha on a research project focused on solute-induced embrittlement and its effects on plasticity in metals and alloys. 

I am also actively looking for collaboration opportunity in the field of computational material science.  Feel free to email me 

My research interest are

• Developing classical/ML Interatomic-potentials for molecular dynamics

• Stability of alloys for hydrogen storage

• Multiscale-Modeling of dislocation slip and plasticity

• Dislocation core-structure and its mobility at lower length scale

• Plasticity of low symmetry crystals 

• Molecular simulation of nano-composites and intermetallics

• Structure-property relationship using data-science
