Senior Research Engineer

Intel

Isuru Joined the group in June 2021 as a postdoctoral associate. He completed his PhD at Auburn University with Prof. Evangelos Miliordos. His PhD focused on high-level ab initio calculations of molecules to understand their chemical and physical properties. In the Kulik group, he carried out multireference wavefunction theory studies and machine learning as part of the CESMIX PSAAP-3 center.
