RESEARCH TEAM
Research Software Engineers
Abhin Suresh
Abhin received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Delaware, where his research experience was in computational condensed matter physics on simulating quantum transport devices. Developed fully quantum and quantum-classical hybrid models to study ultrafast-light or current-driven magnetic heterostructures.
Kevin Bhimani
Kevin Bhimani received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he developed AI models and GPU-accelerated software for a large-scale nuclear physics experiment. He is particularly interested in the fields of machine learning (ML) and high performance computing (HPC). A lifelong learner, Kevin enjoys learning about different research on campus and building tools to solve complex problems in diverse domains.
