Hi I’m Alex Selimov.
I’m a computational materials science PhD turned software developer. My background is primarily in Molecular Dynamics and FEA/FEM, but I’ve dabbled with thermodynamic equilibrium calculations as well as 6-DOF simulations. Most of my time has been spent writing code for HPC including MPI and openMP, although I haven’t done that in a few years. The languages I currently use for building are Rust, Java, and Python. In another life I worked mainly in C++ and Fortran.
I use this site as a dumping ground for thoughts and tips I find useful. Hopefully someone else will find something useful here as well. Thanks for stopping by!
