Vinayak Bhat

PhD Chemistry

I obtained my PhD in Computational Chemistry under the guidance of Dr. Chad Risko from University of Kentucky, USA. My PhD research involved accelerating the development of organic electronic materials with the aid of computational chemistry methods. I am one of the lead developers of OCELOT.
