Principal Investigator

Abhinav S. Raman is a chemical engineer by training with research interests in the areas of computational physical chemistry and electronic structure of reactive systems in the condensed phase. He is currently a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. Annabella Selloni in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University, where his research focuses on developing deep neural network potentials to describe aqueous-oxide interfaces relevant to electrocatalysis and environmental geochemistry. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, working with Prof. Aleksandra Vojvodic on the surface electronic structure of catalytically relevant transition metal oxides. Prior to that, he obtained his Master’s in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers University, working with Prof. Yee Chiew on the molecular thermodynamics of complex fluids. Outside of science, he enjoys catching up on Indian history, brushing up on his Tolkien trivia, following Manchester United, and rooting for the Chennai Super Kings.
