Journey into the Incredible Science of Materials with the Material Gurl

​

Greetings, fellow science enthusiasts! I'm the Material Gurl, your friendly neighborhood materials scientist, and welcome to my blog! Like a curious cat, I'm always poking my nose into the amazing world of materials science, uncovering the secrets and surprises of the materials that surround us. And boy, do I have some fascinating discoveries to share with you! From the weird and wacky to the mind-bogglingly complex, there's never a dull moment when you're exploring the science of materials. But don't worry, you don't have to be a lab coat-wearing scientist to join me on this adventure. Whether you're a computational whiz or just someone who likes a good pun (seriously, I've got plenty), there's room for everyone in the exciting world of materials science. So let's get curious, let's get playful, and let's dive into the incredible science of materials together!

Meet the Material Gurl

Hello! My name is Prathami Kamath

After completing my B.Tech. from IIT Bombay, I am starting my journey as a graduate student researcher in Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley this fall. My passion for science is fueled by the belief that the right materials can help solve some of the world's biggest problems. That's why I'm dedicated to pushing the boundaries of materials science through a data-driven approach, by performing high-throughput calculations and using technologies like AI and  quantum computing to accelerate the discovery and design of new materials. By generating massive datasets of material properties and developing predictive models, I hope to make a positive impact on society through my work. Join me on this exciting journey through the world of materials science!

The Material Gurl Logo

I want to take a moment to talk about the logo I've designed for my blog. It features a student wearing a graduation hat, holding up an infinity symbol. Now, you might be wondering why I chose this particular design.

Well, let me tell you a little story. When I first started my journey into materials science, I was filled with an infinite love and passion for the field. I knew that this was where I wanted to be and that there were endless possibilities to explore. That's why I chose the infinity symbol - to represent the infinite potential and opportunities that exist in the world of materials science.

And of course, the graduation hat represents the beginning of my graduate journey in materials science and the hard work and dedication it took to get here. But more than that, it serves as a reminder that there is always more to learn and discover.

I know I'm just a small voice in the world of materials science, but I hope that this logo can serve as a reminder to myself and my readers that we are all part of a larger community of curious minds, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
