CV industrial academic 

Post-Doctoral Researcher

Centre Interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille, Marseille, France

• Development of novel hybrid ab initio-machine learning (QM/ML) method enabling large scale simulations of extended defects with ab initio accuracy.
• QM/ML study of interaction of point defects with dislocations and kinks in tungsten.
• Coupling of QM/ML approach with advanced sampling techniques for rare event discovery and evaluation aiming at `active learning` type workflow.
