• Density functional theory study of charge transfer mechanisms in the bottleneck process of a water splitting solar cellWith Prof. Richard Friesner
• Developed a least-squares method for calculating the ionicities of the bonds in a large anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle catalyst. Used the results to formulate a model of charge transfer explaining why the.

Incline Village, Nevada, United States

• Evaluation of research in artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Determined whether reasonable progress had been made during first rounds of funding for UC Berkeley professors working on brain-machine interfaces for controlled drug delivery for preventing epileptic seizures and on.

• Doctoral research in chemical physics with Prof. Richard Friesner:
• Gave a talk at the American Physical Society March Meeting 2014
• Wrote two successful grant proposals for large, year-long supercomputer allocations
• Mentored a Ph.D. student in the Friesner Group
• Thesis: “Using polarized Raman spectroscopy and the pseudospectral method to characterize molecular structure and function”SELECTED PROJECTS:
• Polarized Raman theory and the pseudospectral (PS) method:Derived the most general formulation of polarized Raman intensity formulas. Proved a common shortcoming of Raman spectroscopy. Optimized the energy third.
