My name is Nick, and I'm a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Brookhaven National Lab. I'm interested in developing solutions to fun materials science problems with Python!
- š Iām currently working on machine learning models for analyzing X-ray spectroscopy data, methods for automating theoretical X-ray calculations, and OVITO-based methods for extracting useful parameters from molecular dynamics simulations of nanoparticles. š± Iām currently learning how to optimize code for deployment on high-performance clusters, and I'm also improving my AI skills.
- āØ Until recently, most of my coding work was done on my local computer. I intend to use Github more regularly in the coming months as I incorporate Git into my project management workflow.
