Brief Statement of research work

My research focuses on the mechanical, thermal, and structural properties of advanced materials using computer simulation techniques. I am particularly interested in nanoindentation-based mechanical characterization and nanoscale surface diffusion of adatom clusters. My work primarily employs Molecular Dynamics simulations, along with Monte Carlo and First-Principles methods for specific research problems. Current projects include simulation studies of energy storage and memory devices, with recent work exploring graphene-based composite materials for flexible supercapacitor applications.
