Computational materials science for sustainable technologies and quantum materials.

Personal Interests

For Ahmed, the practicality of accessing the computational research resources anytime from anywhere听is a priceless perk of being a computational materials science researcher. Aside from the geeky in-silico adventures, Ahmed enjoys natural sightseeing, especially mountains and water bodies, with his family. In Boulder, Ahmed adores commuting on听bike, where the Flatirons are everywhere.
