Research Aide - CPS - Isah, Ibrahim - 4.6.26.
About The Position
In this project, the student will help set up and perform density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the properties of molten salts, including systems such as LiCl-KCl and NaCl-UCl33. DFT calculations will be used to generate data for training machine-learning interatomic potentials, which can significantly accelerate MD simulations while maintaining high accuracy. Using these computational tools, the student will investigate key thermophysical properties of molten salts, such as density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. This work will contribute to a better understanding of materials relevant to advanced energy applications. The student will also have the rare opportunity to use one of the world’s fastest supercomputers for scientific research and to collaborate with experimental counterparts to compare and validate simulation results.
