Me and My Research Background

About Me. Ghasemi

This is Mehdi Ghasemi. As a postgraduate researcher, my study focuses on leveraging molecular models and advanced computational techniques to gain profound insights into key dynamic environmental processes, in order to enhance comprehension and representation of pivotal phenomena.

My aim is (1) to bridge the gap between microscale molecular interactions and macroscale phenomena, thereby facilitating a comprehensive understanding of complex systems and enabling predictive modelling at larger scales, and (2) to rationalise and interpret experimentally observed behaviour at atomistic resolution, followed by providing insights and proposing new directions for further experimental investigation.
