Science#

Earlier, I worked at the University of Leeds, studying the interaction between tip and sample in non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy. Before that, I was at the Graz University of Technology, simulating the interaction between molecules and inorganic substrates.

On the career page, I have discussed my professional journey in depth. Here, I list the scientific articles I have co-authored, software I have written and the (external) talks I have delivered.

Name

License

Purpose

ATMOS

The Unlicense

A extensible wrapper making use of xarray, that allows one to read output from atomistic simulation programs, store it as NetCDF (HDF5) and perform common data manipulations, including the full range provided by numpy.

BaseCode

Closed

The ancestor of ATMOS, limited in terms of data storage and extensibility. Active development stopped circa late 2020 in favour of ATMOS.

QuESt

Undecided

Developed as a part of a hackathon as collaborative effort, my contribution was the interactive notebook and its integration with BinderHub using thebe. The notebook could then be used to perform quantum mechanical simulations of molecules using a classical computer and quantum computer simulator. It was a quick and wonderful adventure but the code (and repository) reflect the rush of the project. I do plan to pick it up and clean it one day!
