Computational Materials Scientist - Research Div ... (1 reply)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope you will be in an excellent mood and enjoying good health.
I am writing this email to you in regards to apply at your esteemed University. I did my doctorate with distinctions in Materials Science & Engineering from Shenyang National Laboratory, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, Liaoning, China in 2019, MS with specialization in Electronics Design from Mid Sweden University, Sundsvall, Sweden in 2011, and M.Sc. Electronics from University of Peshawar in 2006.
I have worked on the research topics related to: The computational design of new topological semimetals WC-type MX family during my PhD from March-2015 to November 2019. Nowadays the computational techniques and algorithms are introducing new ways of research in the framework of density functional theory to explored new materials for thermoelectric, electronic, magnetic, thermo dynamical, phonon, elastic and optical properties.
Our achievement is the thermoelectric performance of a metastable thin film heusler alloy. This joint article is published in Nature (see Nature, 576, 85-90, 2019).
Therefore, my long term teaching and research experience make me a suitable candidate for this postdoc position. If you provide me the opportunity to work, I am sure that I will gain a lot of knowledge, and will try to contribute my level best.
For more details find my CV in the attachment.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Best Regards,
Dr. Sami Ullah
