Background
I am a Staff Scientist in the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Materials Science Division.
My research applies a multifaceted set of advanced classical molecular dynamics simulation techniques, rare event simulation methods, and machine learning approaches to understand equilibrium and dynamic properties in aqueous and interfacial systems. The overarching goal is to enable a predictive understanding of reactive processes for energy conversion and storage applications, materials engineering at extreme conditions, and geochemically relevant systems.
