I am a theorist who enjoys using quantum mechanics to model chemistry.
- I am a Stanford Science Fellow hosted by the group of Prof. Todd Martinez.
- I got my PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley (2022).
- My advisor was Prof. Martin Head-Gordon.
- I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Physics from MIT (2016).
- My undergraduate research was advised by Prof. Troy Van Voorhis.
- I participated in the International Chemistry Olympiad thrice (2010-2012).
- I used to not be too bad at doing experiments back then.
- I have a nice biographical sketch out in Angew. Chem. with a lot of fun facts.
I have broad research interests spanning many areas of chemistry, condensed matter physics and material science. In particular, I am intrigued by the role of electronic excitations in chemistry and how to model them. I also enjoy collaborating with experimental groups to explore new science. You can find out more about my research by exploring the links above (or from my CV).
