ABOUT RAJAN:
Rajan was a
Research Assistant and a Master's
student at MSU in Material Science (MS) Graduate Program. He really enjoys
exploring the different kinds of structures icosahedral B12 which can
form as disordered solids. At MSU, he was studying amorphous materials comprised of
different variants of boron carbide and orthocarborane as its precursor.
Currently, he is using MD & RMC (HRMC, RMC_Pot) approaches to deal with large
scale models and ab initio (VASP) for small scale structures. In his free time,
he enjoys playing ping pong, walking and biking around.
