Research & Impact

My work sits between electronic-structure theory and machine learning.

Focus Areas

Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials

Fine-tuning GRACE and ACE-type potentials on curated VASP MLFF datasets, then validating them against DFT energies, forces and phonon spectra. The goal is ab-initio accuracy at a cost that scales to systems classical DFT cannot reach.

  • GRACE
  • ACE
  • VASP MLFF
  • Active learning

High-Performance Materials Simulation

Running and scaling these calculations on national and European supercomputers: Slurm job pipelines, containerised toolchains, and GPU workflows for both training and production molecular dynamics.
