Ashwani Kumar | Computational Engineering Researcher

This is the personal portfolio website of Ashwani Kumar, a researcher at ETH Zürich specializing in Multiphysics simulations, Machine Learning, and Material Modeling.

🚀 Key Features

This portfolio has been enhanced with several custom features:

• Interactive Background: A custom particle network animation inspired by neural networks and molecular structures.
• Glassmorphism UI: Modern, semi-transparent design elements for a premium feel.
• Deep Linking Loop: Improved navigation logic (History API) to support direct linking to sections (e.g., #portfolio, #about).
