Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarnamohit Ranka is a computational chemist and postdoctoral researcher with eight years of experience applying density-functional and wave-function quantum chemistry methods to time-dependent and time-independent molecular problems. He combines ab initio electronic-structure work with statistical learning—building Hamiltonian and density-matrix prediction models and accelerating custom optimization on GPUs using JAX and CuPy. His recent postdoctoral work models electrochemical kinetics, explaining cathodic copper corrosion and ion-pair interactions using Kinetiscope informed by AIMD and electronic-structure data. He has bridged academia and industry, developing ML forecasting systems for construction cost estimation and performing deep correlation and causal feature analyses. Known for translating complex electronic-structure insights into simplified kinetic relationships (e.g., univariate links to reorganization energy), he brings both theoretical rigor and practical model-building skills. Based in California, he blends advanced quantum chemistry, ML, and kinetics modeling to tackle real-world electrochemical and materials challenges.
