I am currently working as a consultant at California Council on Science and Technology (CCST). I am also a research scholar at the Ronin Institute (RIIS 2.0).
I was a postdoctoral associate in the Carter-Fenk Group at the University of Pittsburgh. My research involved developments on improved MP2 methods, optimal reference selection for refining coupled-cluster theory, and information-theoretic assessments of approximate densities.
I obtained my PhD at the University of California, Merced with Prof. Hrant P. Hratchian. My PhD research involved quantum-chemical method development for simulating X-ray spectroscopy using mean-field and correlated many-body theories.

I am broadly interested in using theoretical and computational techniques to explore the reactivity and chemical physics of molecular systems in complex environments. I am developing scalable ab initio methods that incorporate electron correlation effects essential for the accurate description of chemical bonding and excited-state chemistry. My research combines many ideas from quantum information theory and many-body methods in electronic structure theory. I am also interested in high performance computing and software development in the molecular sciences.
