Vinit joined the National Institute for Computational Sciences (NICS) as a Computational Scientist in January 2018. At NICS, he is a part of Scientific Computing Group, which is dedicated to providing the support and expertise necessary to effectively utilize the center’s computational resources. His experience lies at the intersection of computational materials science, chemistry, and physics, with application to computer-based design and discovery of advanced multifunctional materials using variety of computational methods (first principles methods, molecular dynamics, Quantum Monte Carlo methods, machine-learning methods for materials informatics).
Prior to joining NICS, Vinit worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Materials Theory Group, Materials Science & Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). |
