About

I have been doing research and heavily programming in the fields of computational materials science and materials informatics for the past 11 years. My current research focus is on leveraging statistical analysis and machine learning tools to solve big data analytics problems in materials science. My specific focus is on the extraction of meaningful structural information from scientific images obtained through micorscopy, tomography and spectroscopy techniques.
