I study materials from the atom up, combining first-principles calculations, machine-learned interatomic potentials, and molecular dynamics to understand how structure controls properties.

About

I am a researcher at the National University of Singapore. My work sits at the intersection of materials chemistry and simulation, with a focus on energy materials.

Research

Polymer electrolytes

Ion transport and structure in solid polymer electrolytes for next-generation batteries.

Machine-learned potentials

Training and evaluating MLIPs such as MACE to reach DFT accuracy at MD scale.

First-principles simulation

DFT, ab initio MD, and phonon calculations to probe reaction pathways and stability.
