About

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I hold a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry with broad expertise in computational materials design, quantum computing, catalysis, molecular simulations, and machine learning atomistic potentials.

I have been recognized with awards such as “J. R. Oppenheimer Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow” appointment at Los Alamos National Laboratory and “ACS Utah Outstanding Graduate Student Award”.

My work covers a wide range of computational chemistry both on classical (CPU/GPU) as well as quantum gate-based platforms (QPU). Additionally, I am skilled in mentoring, communication, and collaboration, with a proven track record in successful scientific project management.
