Research
I work with atomistic simulation methods like molecular dynamics, especially, specialised methods such as transition path sampling to study rare events. My current work focuses on the study of nucleation in solidification in transition metals, and in binary metal-semiconductor alloys. I am also interested in developing scientific software with a special interest in Python and C++. More details about my work are on my personal webpage and my programming projects on github.
