I work in the domain of Computational Materials Science (CMS). This area of research mainly deals with modeling and simulation of various material properties of interest for different engineering applications.  I am fascinated by this area of research because of the high inter-disciplinary nature of the work. I am currently involved in the study of corrosion in metallic alloys using multiscale simulation techniques such as Kinetic Monte Carlo and Density Functional Theory. In the past I have worked in a subdomain of CMS called Phase-Field Modelling, which involves the description microstructures of materials using mathematical models. Computational Materials Science is considered as one of the three pillars of scientific endeavor in materials research, complementing the other two pillars, namely experimental and theoretical approach.
