As a graduate student in the Hirata lab, I developing new and improving existing Monte Carlo many-body methods. Developing many-body methods can be a particularly challenging task as the complexity of the equations rapidly increases as perturbation order is increased. To correctly establish working equations for new methods, I developed an automated code.

I held the position of teaching assistant (TA) for two semesters at UIUC. I was a TA for physical chemistry I (quantum mechanics) and physical chemistry II (thermodynamics). As a TA, I was responsible for grading homework and exams, holding office hours, attending lectures, and moderating exams as a TA for physical chemistry II was responsible for creating.

I served as the co-chair of the student-select-seminar committee for two years. As the co-chair of the committee, I was in charge of arranging and directing meetings of the committee and the organization of the Physical Chemistry Student Select Seminar at UIUC, a seminar given by a speaker chosen by the physical chemistry graduate students. Additionally, I.

As an undergraduate researcher in the Iyengar lab, I studied hydroxy-proxy-isoprenoids, which are atmospheric molecules proposed to play an essential role in the fast photochemistry above pristine tropical forests, via ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Through the simulations, we discovered that the inclusion of anharmonicity is crucial for.
