Putra is researching functional materials across molecular, soft-matter, and solid-state systems using density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics simulations combining also multi-scale modeling and machine learning approaches to accelerate the discovery and optimization of functional materials for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and drug design.

He wrote his PhD thesis in October 2024 on “Theoretical Investigation of Photocatalytic Process on Metal-Organic Material” and has since then been working on Multiscale Modeling of Photocatalytic Reactions at the University of Ulm.
