Hello!
I am a PhD student at the Van Voorhis Group in MIT Chemistry. My Ph.D. program is supported by the MIT Presidential Fellowship (Robert T. Haslam Fellow) and the Kwanjeong Fellowship. My interests are in computational chemistry, specifically in quantum embedding methods.
I completed my undergraduate education at Brown University, where I graduated magna cum laude with Honors in Chemical Physics. My research advisor was Professor Brenda Rubenstein, with whom I studied the Finite-Temperature Auxiliary Field Quantum Monte Carlo (FT-AFQMC) method on transition metals.
Some of the organizations that I have previously engaged with are listed below. Please refer to my CV for more details.
- Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) @ Brown University, Providence RI
- The Rubenstein Group @ Brown University, Providence RI
- The Gagliardi Group @ University of Chicago, Chicago IL
- Google Summer of Code with cclib
- The Martin Group @ Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel
- Eighth US Army through the KATUSA Program
