Mushir Thodika joined NREL in October 2022 as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Mark van Schilfgaarde. His work focuses on the development of Green’s function-based, high-fidelity electronic structure code and its application to large-scale chemical systems. He received his bachelor's/master's dual degree in chemistry from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali in 2017. He completed his doctoral studies in chemistry at Temple University, where he developed Hermitian and non-Hermitian approaches for computing negative ion resonance states.
