About Me
I am currently a research scientist in the External Research Department at Citrine Informatics, specializing in materials informatics. Previously, I worked as a postdoc in the Basic & Applied Molecular Foundations Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. My research focused on the computational study of CO2 capture and catalysis.
I received my B.S. in Applied Mathematics (emphasis in Physics) from UC Riverside in 2015. I then joined UC Riverside's Materials Science & Engineering graduate program in the Nanoscale & Mesoscale Energy Materials Research Group. After completing my M.S., I joined Peter A. Greaney's Computational Materials Group to finish my PhD. The focus of my dissertation was the atomistic modeling of amorphous materials, particularly amorphous metal oxides and water-in-salt electrolytes.
In my research, I combine atomistic modeling, both at the electronic (quantum) and atomic (classical) level, with machine learning methods. I am excited and passionate about developing new ways to solve novel problems in materials science and chemistry in silico in order to accelerate scientific discovery.
