The purpose of "Frontiers in Energy Research Newsletter" is to showcase the outstanding research and scientists within the Energy Frontier Research Centers. The audience for the electronic newsletter is the scientific community and the Department of Energy. The audience is interested, positive and science literate. However, they are also very busy and don’t have deep backgrounds in every scientific discipline. So, the articles are designed to provide them with jargon-free information in a quick and entertaining style. https://www.energyfrontier.us/newsletter/201309/moving-protons-speed-life

Wrote computer programs in Python and Fortran to calculate as well as extract relevant data used standard computational software packages to investigate H2 oxidation−production mechanism for use in energy conversion processes and energy storage.
