Join us!

We are looking for highly motivated undergraduate/graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who wish to contribute to make the world a better place to live by developing new energy materials. If you are interested in atomic-level simulations, high-throughput materials screening, machine learning applications, and, most importantly, my values, please e-mail me and let’s have some coffee. Coffee’s on me ☕️


Below are some Frequently Asked Questions (to be added..)


1. Do I need experiences in coding?

Preferred, but not necessary. We have Google!
My first coding experience was in the 4th year of my Ph.D.


2. Do I need experiences in atomic simulations?

No, but don’t worry. I have a plenty of tutorials for you.


3. Can I sometimes work from home?

Yes, you can as long as you are productive.  But I've weirdly come to prefer office life — no one to talk with and no boundaries between work and play at home. But it’s your choice!


4. What do you want from your students?
During my Ph.D. and postdoc, I kept bothering my advisors with quick updates which made me very productive. I expect you to do so, and I would be happy to provide helpful feedbacks ASAP.
