I work in Theoretical & Computational Materials Science (TCMS). 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 research area because of the work’s highly interdisciplinary nature. I study 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 TCMS called Phase-Field Modelling, which involves the description of microstructures of materials using mathematical models. Computational Materials Science is considered one of the three pillars of scientific endeavor in materials research, complementing the other two pillars, namely experimental and theoretical approaches.
