PhD Candidate, Theoretical Chemistry — Neuscamman Group, UC Berkeley | 2025–26 MolSSI Software Fellow | NSF GRFP Fellow
I develop electronic structure methods and corresponding performance-oriented scientific software for HPC systems. My work spans method development in variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and local Hartree-Fock theory. I'm especially interested in improving the efficiency of ab initio wave function theories to extend their application to larger systems and regimes where immense amounts of single point calculations are necessary.
