π©βπ¬ I am a permanent researcher and junior group leader at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (Bundesanstalt fΓΌr Materialforschung und -prΓΌfung) in Berlin, Germany, and I develop code to do materials science. Since September 2023, I am also a Professor for Materials Informatics at FSU Jena (https://www.uni-jena.de/).
βοΈ I am searching for new materials with desired properties for thermoelectric materials, solar cells and batteries. I aim at understanding materials properties with the help of bonding analysis (π¦) and coordination environments. For example, I have recently assessed the predictive power of the Pauling rules. We have also developed a code to automatically perform bonding analysis: LobsterPy π¦π.
π©βπ» I have contributed to pymatgen, custodian, atomate, and atomate2. I am currently part of the Materials Project Software Foundation. I have also developed some smaller packages to analyse phonons.
