BIO

Sourav Ghosh is a Computational Materials Scientist and Research Fellow at RMIT University specializing in multiscale modeling of materials microstructures, defects, and processing–structure–property relationships. His research combines physics-based simulations, machine learning, and high-performance computing to understand material behavior across atomistic, mesoscale, and continuum length scales.

Prior to joining RMIT, Sourav completed a joint PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and the University of Melbourne, followed by a postdoctoral appointment at Arizona State University. His research experience spans computational metallurgy, phase transformations, interface science, thin-film growth, precipitation strengthening, and sustainable materials processing. He has developed advanced computational frameworks using phase-field modeling, phase-field crystal methods, molecular dynamics, density functional theory,  CALPHAD, and integrated computational materials engineering approaches.

Currently, Sourav is working on the evolution of microstructures and defect populations in quantum devices through multiscale modeling. His research aims to uncover the mechanisms governing defect formation, migration, and annihilation during processing, providing fundamental insights that can improve the reliability, performance, and scalability of next-generation quantum technologies.
