Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHemanta Bhattarai is a computational physicist and postdoctoral scholar with 12 years of research and software development experience, specializing in force field development and molecular dynamics. He has led creation of DR-EAM, a polarizable metal force field that captures image charge effects, and implemented extended Lagrangian MD algorithms in OpenMD, contributing production-quality C++ and Python modules used by his lab. Equally comfortable coding in Python and C++ and leveraging CUDA, Hemanta applies supervised and unsupervised machine learning to analyze simulation data and improve model fidelity. He has a strong track record of turning complex physical models into efficient, reproducible simulation tools and has trained students to use and extend those tools. Based in Oxford, Ohio, he blends deep theoretical insight with practical engineering to study interfacial processes like metal–water thermal transport and oxide growth.
