Using quantum chemistry, I leverage the basic tenets of this field to conduct simulations of clean energy materials with a view toward developing efficient energy storage and conversion systems. Central to these pursuits are the core principles of quantum mechanics, whose application enables the prediction of the physical and chemical characteristics of materials needed for the realization of a sustainable energy infrastructure. My scholarly pursuits are informed by the foundational underpinnings of Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Reduced Density Matrix (RDM) theory, both of which furnish efficient descriptions of the Hilbert Space for wave functions that convey information about the electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in these systems.

I am deeply indebted to my graduate advisor Prof. David Mazziotti (UChicago), and my current (Postdoctoral) advisor Prof. Martin Head-Gordon (UC Berkeley), along with a host of other collaborators for my research.
