Kai Sellschopp

Kai Sellschopp is a Computational Materials Scientist with an interdisciplinary background, holding degrees in both materials engineering and physics from the TU Dresden (Germany). His PhD at the Hamburg University of Technology focussed on modelling interactions between small organic molecules and transition metal oxide surfaces. Following his interest in machine learning, he also spent 4 months at the EPFL in Lausanne as a visiting scholar. As a Postdoctoral Walter-Benjamin Fellow at the Institute of Hydrogen Technology at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Kai studied metal hydrides for hydrogen storage applications using atomic-scale modelling methods. He recently got appointed as a Lecturer of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Canterbury, where he now builds a group for the Computational Design of Sustainable Chemical Processes.
