About

I am a computational chemist working at the intersection of quantum chemistry, excited-state dynamics, and spectroscopic simulations. My research applies DFT/TD-DFT, CC/EOM-CC, AIMD, and relativistic methods to problems in catalysis, photophysics, drug designand electrospray propulsion. I develop and validate theoretical models that reproduce experimental observables—including XAS/XCD and UV–Vis spectra—and use these insights to guide molecular design for CO₂ photoreduction, OLED emitters, and biomolecles. I have authored 18 peer-reviewed publications and received multiple fellowships and awards. My work is highly collaborative, often bridging theory and experiment, and I am proficient in Q-CHEM, CFOUR, ORCA, Gaussian, and Python-based scientific workflows. I also hold certification in molecular modeling for drug discovery, with experience in Free Energy Perturbation methods. Outside the lab, I’m interested in philosophy, spending time in nature, and cars. These interests shape how I think about structure, perspective, and design—both in science and beyond.
