About Me
Theoretical and computational chemist focused on fragment-based ab initio methods and the high-performance computing software that makes them practical at scale.
I currently split my time between quantum chemistry theory, GPU-ready implementations, and collaborative projects that translate academic advances into tools research labs can deploy.
As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado Denver, I'm co-advised by Professors Emilie Guidez and Hai Lin, leading method development for multi-layer adaptive partitioning (MAP) and accelerator-aware electronic structure workflows.
Open science and mentorship are core to my work. I maintain public repositories whenever possible, support early-career researchers adopting GAMESS-derived tooling, and enjoy collaborating with interdisciplinary teams across chemistry, applied math, and computer science.
