I build end-to-end pipelines that turn physics simulations into predictive ML models β from raw HPC outputs to published datasets and production-ready tools.
- ML for Materials Science β Graph Neural Networks, Random Forest and Gradient Boosting to predict structural and electronic properties of materials
- High-throughput workflows β automated pipelines for large-scale first-principles simulations on HPC clusters (SLURM, Python, YAML-driven)
- Data engineering β from simulation output β structured dataset β publication. Built and released TBHubbard, a 10,000+ MOF database published in Nature Scientific Data
- Predictive modelling β correcting systematic DFT errors in formation enthalpies using ML (active research, Uppsala University)
- MLOps / production ML β packaging research models into APIs, dashboards, Docker, CI, and AWS-hosted demos
Python toolkit for automating high-throughput EMTO physics simulations on HPC clusters
- Single YAML config drives input generation, parameter sweeps, SLURM scheduling and results extraction
- Designed for reproducibility and scalability across hundreds of concurrent jobs

Predicting Hubbard U and V parameters in MOFs using the dataset I built and published
- Benchmarked Linear Regression and Random Forest against DFT reference values on 464,509+ pair-level observations from 242 MOFs
- Best model for U: Linear Regression (RΒ² = 0.970, MAE = 0.181 eV); best model for V: Random Forest (RΒ² = 0.782, MAE = 0.026 eV)
- Full pipeline: EDA β preprocessing (IQR outlier filtering, VIF multicollinearity check, group-aware train/test split) β modelling β evaluation
- Based on the TBHubbard dataset β 785+ downloads since release
