• Setup molecular dynamics or MD software packages to perform atomistic simulation on Department HPC. Understood and implemented software compilation techniques to utilize GPU acceleration for efficient simulation methods. • Project #1: Engineered a GQD and epoxy nanocomposite and investigated the mechanical response in tension using MD. Extended this workflow to an amine functionalized GQD which illustrated a 6% increase in stiffness and 17% increase in strength of the nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was investigated for free volume and GQD orientations to understand the role of the GQD n the improved properties of the material. Current work involves modeling different functionalization chemistries on the GQD and the impact on the epoxy nanocomposite. In future, the observations from this work can be leveraged to design optimal GQD filled polymer composites. • Prepared tutorials and case studies to develop future work force.
