Program 1: Multiscale Simulations
I use multiscale simulations to understand reaction thermodynamics and kinetics across
atomic, molecular, and mesoscale regimes. This approach aims to study complex systems
such as heterogeneous catalysis, next generation batteries, and lignin based materials
under realistic chemical environments.
Program 2: Hybrid Modeling
I develop hybrid modeling frameworks that combine first-principles methods with
data-driven models to overcome the limitations of each approach alone. By integrating
physics based insight with flexible learning tools, this research aims to uncover
hidden mechanisms in complex energy and environmental systems.
Program 3: Model-based Optimization
I study model based optimization to identify the best input conditions and control
strategies needed to achieve desired system level performance. This work connects
predictive modeling with decision making for efficient design and operation of chemical
and energy processes.
Program 4: Generative AI Models
I explore generative AI models to go beyond conventional prediction tasks by improving
extrapolation, discovering new materials, and estimating reaction kinetic parameters in
chemically complex systems. This direction aims to expand both the interpretability and
the practical design value of computational modeling.
