ආයුබෝවන්! (Āyubōvan!)

Hello and welcome! 👋

I'm Uthpala, a computational physicist leveraging research computing, data science, and high-performance computing to push the boundaries of science and technology. In my current position as a Sr. Engagement Specialist with Duke Research Computing, I help teams across disciplines within the Duke community and greater North Carolina harness research computing to turn bold ideas into scalable, high-impact results. In my previous role as a postdoc in the Ab-Initio Materials Simulations (AIMS) group at Duke University, I focused on developing and applying computational methods and frameworks to design, discover and characterize novel materials for semiconductor and energy applications.

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!
