Atomistic Simulations
Atomistic Simulations
Within the framework of integrated Computational Materials Engineering, my areas of interest are in material formation and deformation mechanisms using Density Functional Theory, Large Scale Molecular Dynamics simulations using semiempirical potentials, and generation of such multielemental potentials. This multiscale modeling approach ease up the material design factors to relevant time and length scales; while DFT is used to probe the quantum mechanical accuracy; thermal and mechanical properties are examined using atomistic techniques. And its micro- and macro-scale properties with phase field or continuum methods, although not my expertise, the output of one level is passed on to the next level, creating a powerful predictive model. My present interest is on novel Magnesium alloy design with solute addition and predict the change in its deformation behavior alongside the dislocation-precipitate interaction for Al-Mg alloys.
