Hello and welcome! 👋
I'm Uthpala, a computational physicist leveraging research computing and high-performance computing to push the boundaries of science and technology. Recently, I completed a postdoc in the Ab-Initio Materials Simulations (AIMS) group at Duke University where I focused on developing and applying computational methods and frameworks to design, discover and characterize novel materials.
This website serves as my digital corner in cyberspace where I share insights and musings about my research and other interests through my blog. You can explore a list of my publications derived from my research endeavors and a portfolio of projects I have contributed to. For an in-depth overview of my professional journey, please refer to my CV. Learn about the talks I've given over the years and check out the about page for a more personal glimpse into my life and passions.
I invite you to browse, read, and interact. Whether it's a thoughtful comment on a blog post or a question about my research, I would love to hear from you!
