About Me
I am the group leader for Materials Informatics in the Computational Materials Design department at the Max-Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials. Previously, I was a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow in the theoretical division of Los Alamos National Laboratory (T-1) working on the development of autonomous simulation protocols as part of the Exascale Computing Project (ECP). Besides my research work I am the lead developer of the pyiron workflow framework, a maintainer of open-source materials informatics software packages for the conda-forge community and a regular contributor to open-source projects on GitHub.
