Below are some of the resources that have genuinely helped me throughout my journey. I will continue adding more resources over time that I believe may also benefit others.
A GitHub repository containing tutorials on Python utilities relevant to Materials Science, covering topics from basic concepts to advanced libraries in the field. The content is presented in the way I have learned and applied it throughout my work. Feedback and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Python for Materials ScienceBelow are resources for learning Machine Learning as a beginner. The first section contains foundational resources for learning ML from a general perspective, while the second builds on applications in materials science.
