About:

I'm doing research on "microscopic and macroscopic investigations of different materials using simulations based on the molecular and finite element methods toward sustainable energy and environment."

At the moment, my research is focused on simulating how graphene grows, the reaction of hydrocarbon molecules breaking apart on the surface of a metal, a microscopic look at how NiTi alloys behave, and the mechanical and thermal properties of metal alloys.
