Computational Laboratory for Energy And Nanoscience

I am a Masters student in the Modelling and Computational Science program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). I am working with Prof. I. Tamblyn, using computational materials science techniques to investigate lightweight metal matrix composites (MMCs).

Code I have written

My GitHub profile is located at https://github.com/millskyle. Here you will find repositories containing the various projects I have worked on or am currently working on.
