<h1>Curriculum Vitae</h1>
<h2>Postdoc 3 (June 2024)</h2>
<p>
I recently joined ICGM UMR 5253, Montpellier as a postdoc, focusing on designing an optimal implementation of Q-DFT in quantum devices and integrating them into the BigDFT code.
</p>
<h2>Postdoc 2 (May 2023 - April 2024)</h2>
<p>
I engaged in a project titled "Rebirth of Aromatic Cope Rearrangements" under Prof. Eric HENON at ICMR UMR 7312, URCA, Reims. This involved collaboration with two experimental groups, using quantum mechanical tools to investigate the impact of metal catalysts, solvents, and functional groups on reaction mechanisms. Additionally, I developed a promolecular density model for IGMplot and contributed to the integration of Slater Type Orbitals (STO) within the IGMplot framework. I also applied machine learning techniques to predict interaction energies.
</p>
<h2>Postdoc 1 (April 2021 - September 2022)</h2>
<p>
In my first postdoc, I worked on the heterogeneous reactions of Ozone and Sulphur dioxide on atmospheric aerosol surfaces using molecular dynamics simulations and the QM/MM approach, under Prof. Celine TOUBIN and Dr. Denis DUFLOT at PhLAM UMR 8523, Université de Lille. During this period, I also developed a GUI with Python and Bash scripts to connect two programs for calculating reaction rates.
</p>
<h2>PhD in Physics (November 2016 - January 2021)</h2>
<p>
I completed my PhD under Dr. R. Shankar at Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. My thesis titled "The First Principle and Quantum Chemical Modelling of Carbon, Boron, Nitrogen, and Silicon-Based Two-Dimensional Adsorbent Materials for Energy Harvesting Applications" involved extensive work with quantum chemical tools such as Gaussian, Quantum Espresso, and VASP. My research included studying the defects, adsorption, and diffusion properties of Metal-ions and molecules on electrode surfaces, and the electronic properties of stacked 2D materials using DFT and TD-DFT.
</p>
<h2>M.Sc and B.Sc (June 2011 - April 2016)</h2>
<p>
I completed my M.Sc and B.Sc in Physics from St. Joseph's College, Trichy, TN, India. My master's project focused on "Structural and Optical Properties of Tin and Fluorine Doped Zinc Oxide Thin Films by Spin Coating Method." My bachelor's studies included classical mechanics, physical chemistry, mathematics, and C++ programming.
</p>
<h2>High School (June 2004 - April 2011)</h2>
<p>
I completed my schooling at St. Antony's Higher Secondary School in Kosavapatty, Dindigul, TN, India.
</p>
<h3>Skills</h3>
<p>
I have solid experience with quantum chemistry codes: Gaussian, Quantum Espresso, VASP, and molecular dynamics code Gromacs, with publications in each. I am proficient in Python and Bash scripting, with over eight years of experience managing high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
</p>
<h4>Awards</h4>
<p>
I was awarded the Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India.
</p>
