About Me

(Working on it to make better)

I am Indiras Khatri, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, George Mason University, Fairfax. I earned a Ph.D. in computational physics at the Department of Physics and Astronom, University of Toledo, OH. I am working in developing PINN potentials of ultra-high temperature ceramics using cutting-edge technology such as machine Learning techniques. In addition, I am interested in designing and developing AI algorithms that can learn and predict using programming languages.

Research and skills

My Ph.D. journey helped me to develop the expertise of using well-established physics theories such as density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics (MD), and Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) to study the structural and non-equilibrium properties of bulk alloys and thin films. Over eleven articles of mine have been published in peer-reviewed journals. I have presented my works nationally and internationally. To perform scientific calculations, I use software packages such as VASP , LAMMPS, VMD , OVITTO, etc. I have also developed strong foundations in data science by completing the online courses and solving real-life problems with the use of machine learning. Aside from that, I've been writing code for more than twelve years, which includes OOP using languages like C/C++, Python, and Java.
