My name is Kevin Ryczko and I worked with Prof. I. Tamblyn in the field of Renewable Energy Nanoscience. I was a PhD student in the physics program at uOttawa and a Master's student in the modelling and computational science program at UOIT. I finished my thesis at the National Research Council of Canada in Canada's capital. |

Masters research
My research consisted of studying liquid water-metal interfaces to understand the fundamentals of water electrolysis. Namely, I used ab initio electronic structure methods to investigate different interfaces. For more information, see the publications section or below.
Undergraduate research
In my fourth year thesis, I studied online social networks, and built a simulation package called hashkat. The main objective of this work was to understand how online social networks grow, how connections form, and how information propogates throught them. See the publications section or below to read more.
