I did a PhD student, then a Post-doc. I like to build neat applications and automations.
I love Rust, but mainly work in Fortran (I know), Python, and C++ professionally.
I work on various projects in the computational materials science ecosystem, and loads of small and large hobby automation projects.
Some fun things you might like
- Particles - an interactive particles simulation for Android, on Google Play
- Game of Life in Fortran with OpenGL and a Skeleton for OpenGL in Fortran
- feed-rs - get Discord notifications of some nice news sources
- smetrics-rs - simple analytics for Bluesky and Tumblr
- dl_poly_structure_library - various scalable DL_POLY input files
- BHM potential parameters for 20 molten salts.
- SARU test vectors
- LiF molten salt experimental viscosity data
- OpenAcc and NVFortran Fortran GPU examples
- Since 2023, I've mainly worked on DL_POLY (Classical Molecular Dynamics) and its Python meta package dlpoly-py, on a Postdoc at Queen Mary University of London. Including DL_POLY tools and workflows.
- I also contribute to janus_core - a Python/CLI toolbox for machine-learned interatomic potentials.
Languages and frameworks I use
- C++, Fortran, Rust, shell (bash), Python, Julia, Kotlin, Lua, Javascript (+html/css), C
- MPI, CMake, HPC Schedulers (SLURM/UGE), OpenGL, Vulkan, Android (Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, C++ NDK), CUDA (C++, Fortran), OpenAcc, GCloud, AWS (lambda mostly), git, github/gitlab
