Introduction

I received my Ph.D. in Physics from the School of Engineering and Science, Jacobs University Bremen, a U.S. model English-speaking university in Germany, in July 2012. My thesis, titled "Computational studies of structure, stability, properties and applications of nanoporous framework materials", received distinction from thesis committee. My Ph.D. supervisor was Prof. Dr. Thomas Heine (currently at TU Dresden).

I continued at Jacobs University Bremen as a Postdoctoral Researcher for next 6 months and moved to Cornell University in March 2013 and to Boston University in November 2016. My Postdoc Advisor at Cornell University was Prof. Paulette Clancy (currently at Johns Hopkins) and that at Boston University was Prof. Enrico Bellotti. Since December 2018, I work as an Associate Editor at John Wiley & Sons in Hoboken, NJ.

My research included studies of different classes of materials and molecules and are aimed at unraveling their structure, properties, and application feasibility. I have studied nanoporous materials, such as Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), quantum dots, inorganic semiconductors, polymer:fullerene bulk heterojunction, frustrated Lewis pairs, and boron clusters. I have used a variety of theoretical and simulation tools for the studies, including, density functional theory, density functional tight-binding, classical molecular dynamics, ab-initio metadynamics, and kinetic Monte Carlo.

At Wiley, I am responsible for commissioning book projects in areas of physics and materials science. My responsibility includes leading acquisition of new titles and managing peer-review of book proposals and contents.
