Dr Ramzi Kutteh
Staff Profile
Role at ANSTO
Dr Ramzi Kutteh's role at ANSTO is two-fold: to perform molecular modeling research as part of the hard-condensed-matter group in the Bragg Institute, and to manage the molecular modeling applications on the linux clusters across the ANSTO site.
Ramzi's background is in computational physics (condensed matter, colloid physics, and biophysics), methodology and algorithm development, and scientific software.
